Wood’s cricket career began in Nottinghamshire’s youth system, making his first-class debut in 2014. After joining Lancashire in 2020, he flourished, particularly in limited-overs formats. His international breakthrough arrived in 2022 during his T20I debut against Pakistan in Karachi, where he took three wickets for 24 runs, securing a Player of the Match award and contributing to England’s victory. Shortly afterward, he debuted in ODIs during a tour of Australia. His limited-overs statistics reflect an early international career: in ODIs, he has featured in only two matches, bowling in one where he delivered all 10 overs without taking a wicket, ending with figures of 0 for 59. In T20Is, however, his performance has been more encouraging. Since his 2022 debut, he has played seven matches and claimed 13 wickets, averaging under 18 runs per dismissal. His best return stands at 3 for 24, achieved on debut, with a strike rate of one wicket every 12 balls and an economy rate of 8.85, which, while above average, is typical in modern T20 cricket. One of his earliest standout moments came around 2015, when he scored a remarkable century batting at number nine for Nottinghamshire. By 2017, he was part of the Nottinghamshire squad that claimed the Vitality Blast trophy. In 2022, he took the field in The Hundred for the Trent Rockets, playing a pivotal role throughout the tournament, including the final at Lord’s, where his wicket proved decisive in securing victory. That same year marked his England T20I debut against Pakistan, where he not only debuted but also won the Player of the Match award for his bowling figures of 3 for 24. In 2023, back with Lancashire in the Blast competition, he delivered a standout season, finishing with 18 wickets in 14 games and earning the club’s Player of the Year award.
