"I don't think I'll be playing when I'm 41, particularly for England," said Chris Woakes ahead of the second Test match against Team India at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. Currently, the 36-year-old is the most experienced pacer in England's team

Ahead of the second Test match against Team India, England's star pacer Chris Woakes opened up on his retirement plans and stated that he is not looking to keep playing like former pacer James Anderson.
"I don't think I'll be playing when I'm 41, James, particularly for England. I've tried to get the most out of my career. I'm still in that position where I feel like I'm trying to get better, trying to improve every time I go out there. Pass on that knowledge, as I said. People like to talk about age a lot," Woakes said in a press conference.
Currently, the 36-year-old is the most experienced pacer in England's team.
