Mark Wood is optimistic of facing both Ireland and Australia this week after his record-breaking spell helped England start their T20 World Cup campaign with a win on Saturday.
Wood bowled the fastest four-over spell in World Cup history as England beat Afghanistan by five wickets in Perth.
They are next due in action against Ireland on Wednesday before a blockbuster against hosts Australia at the MCG only 48 hours later.
Wood missed the home summer with an elbow injury and has a history of fitness issues, with England conscious of the need to manage their prize pace asset amid the tight turnaround.
"I'm hoping to [play both],” Wood said. "My body will dictate that. I'll see how I pull up. That's always the case and I'll have a chat with the medical team and just see where I go from there.
"But that's pretty common with me because of my track record."
The Super 12 stage came alive on Sunday as India beat arch-rivals Pakistan in a final-ball thriller in front of more than 90,000 fans in Melbourne.
This morning, Bangladesh began their campaign with a win as Taskin Ahmed’s four-wicket haul helped secure a nine-run victory over the Netherlands in Hobart.
