Despite the injury, Woakes returned to Bat with his arm in a scarf in the last tense morning, making four points in a stand from the last counter with Gus Atkinson before England fell to six points of victory. The series ended 2-2.
Woakes told BBC Sport that surgery and rehabilitation were on the table. “I am waiting to see what is the extent of the damage, but I think that the options will be to undergo surgery or to follow a rehabilitation route and try to find it as loud as possible,” he said.Explaining his preference, he added: “Naturally, there will be a chance to replenish, but I suppose that it could be a risk that you are just ready to take. Rehabilitation of surgery would be three to four months – it affects ashes – while with rehabilitation, you can probably put it strong again in the eight weeks.”The first ash test begins in Perth on November 21 and Woakes remains determined to appear. His decision to beat despite the injury praised, although he minimized heroism: “In my eyes, it was never a question. Someone else in this locker room would have done the same. You do what is best for your team. ”The grain of Woakes may have been “as usual” in his eyes, but his desire to play on fitness shows how much the ashes always mean for one of the most experienced activists in England.
