IPL 2018: Mark Wood Hopes to Make a Difference in the Tournament

England International Mark Wood could not control his eagerness and excitement to join the Chennai Super Kings.

The death-over specialist for England hopes to bring in a different flavour to the team and is looking forward to contributing to the game.

Wood is excited about the prospect of playing in a different environment, as opposed to the similar settings in England and county cricket.

“It’s going to be a different experience. Playing for England or Durham you are pretty much set whereas this is a new team and a new environment,” Mark Wood told Robert Key according to Sky Sports.

The word is exciting; I don’t know what I’m going into. It could be a little manic and crazy – but I guess that will fit in with me quite nicely,” continued Wood.

Mark Wood, from Durham, expects to contribute to CSK by helping them win matches.

Hopefully, I can bring something different to the team and try and get some wins under our belt. I’m really looking forward to the challenge,” Wood adds.

Additionally, Wood intends to take a few skills out of Bravo during his stay at the Chennai based franchise. Wood himself is a decent exponent of slower deliveries, much like Bravo.

[Windies all-rounder] Bravo has one of the best slower balls in world cricket – if I can tap into that it might help my game,” commented Wood on DJ Bravo.

Also, Wood is looking at his responsibilities to show off his skills, as he is a premier player on the roster.

[Being an overseas player] certainly brings responsibilities, maybe I will have to show off my skills a little bit more,” the 28-year old revealed.

If you are a good bloke in the dressing room that’s the main thing, so I will be trying to add something there,” concluded Mark Wood.
