IPL 2018: Mark Wood ends stint at Chennai Super Kings and returns to England to boost Test prospects

England fast bowler Mark Wood has returned home from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) to play for Durham in a bid to keep his place in the test side, the 28-year-old has said. Wood played for the Chennai Super Kings in their opening win against champions Mumbai Indians but was not picked in their next nine matches. “The decision has been made for me to return home to England to prepare for the English summer,” Wood wrote in an Instagram post.

He will be available for Durham’s County Championship match against Derbyshire this week and will hope to make the England squad for the two-Test series against Pakistan starting later this month. “It’s a massive boost to have Mark available for Friday. On the occasions we’ve had him available to play for us over the last few years, he’s made some great contributions,” Durham head coach Jon Lewis said in a statement. “He comes back to us with a big point to prove and is eager to nail down his spot in the England test side. “The IPL didn’t give him the playing opportunities he would have liked but he has still learnt from great players and this is a move which suits all parties.”
