Despite facing rain interruptions in their warm-up matches, England is confident in their abilities to defend the Twenty20 World Cup title. Fast bowler Mark Wood expressed confidence in the team’s strength to overcome the lack of preparation due to the rain-affected matches.
The team’s T20 series against Pakistan has also been impacted by the weather, with two out of four matches being abandoned without a single ball being bowled. This has not dented the team’s spirit and determination to perform well in the upcoming tournament.
While some players were able to participate in the Indian Premier League, others like Wood made the decision to opt out in order to manage their workload and focus on their fitness ahead of the World Cup.
