Wood: England cannot dwell on India woe heading into Champions Trophy
Fast bowler Mark Wood

MARK WOOD has urged England not to “linger” on their chastening white-ball tour of India, insisting the forthcoming Champions Trophy in Pakistan is a blank slate for everyone.

England have been beaten in six out of seven games on a tumultuous first engagement for new head coach Brendon McCullum, whose charges are seeking to avoid an ODI series whitewash in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

It was at the 100,000-plus capacity Narendra Modi Stadium where they started a doomed 2023 World Cup, as defeat to New Zealand set in motion a sequence that has seen England lose 15 of their last 22 ODIs.
