Mark Wood is not expecting to play a major role in this summer's Ashes, admitting he "might not play any" if England do not lose any more seamers to injury ahead of the series.
Captain Ben Stokes has already stated he wants eight to choose from when his England side take on rivals Australia and Wood will certainly come into contention. Veteran duo James Anderson and Stuart Broad will lead the attack, but are highly unlikely to feature in every Test given they are now 40 and 36 respectively and all five Tests have been squeezed into a 46-day period.
Ollie Robinson has been outstanding since returning to the side last summer a much fitter bowler, while the likes of Jofra Archer, Olly Stone and Saqib Mahmood could all have a role to play after recovering from stress fractures of the back and making their England returns in white-ball cricket.
