On the other hand, now England Test cricket team captain Ben Stokes has been seen praising Wood’s brilliant performance. Ben Stokes praised Mark Wood a lot Let us tell you that after the end of the third Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham, during the post-match, Ben Stokes said about Mark Wood – I think he (Mark Wood) really deserves the awards he has received. Whenever he wears the England shirt, he always tries to be amazing in the game. He is a lion hearted player, as a captain you can see him bowling for 45 minutes or more. Stokes further said- Wood is a really fast and skillful bowler. He opened the match for us. It seemed like he was looking to take a wicket on every ball. Obviously, when the ball comes at a speed of 150 kilometers and it reverse swings, it will be very difficult to bat. Wood is very important and the skill he has is the X factor.
