Mark Wood, a fast bowler, has announced his retirement from international cricket due to a knee injury. He has not played for the England since the first match of the 2025/26 Ashes, where he suffered a recurrence of the same injury in Perth and was excluded from the subsequent matches of the series. At 36 years old, he was absent from the Ashes 2025-26 series after surgery on his knee ligament in 2025. He also participated in 38 T20 internationals, where he took nine wickets in four matches during the England's victory at the World Cup 2022, but was excluded from the semi-finals and final due to body stiffness in 2022.
