Mark Wood Reveals A Skill He Wants To Steal From Jasprit Bumrah

Ahead of the semi-final clash against New Zealand, Wood had a fun conversation with the International Cricket Council (ICC) in which he was asked if he could steal skill from a rival, then who would it be to which he replied that he wants to steal Bumrah’s yorker delivering abilities. He said:

“Bumrah. Maybe, five steps of having a perfect yorker.”

He was further questioned, “How would you steal?” to which speedster Wood replied:

“I would probably get something like in the movie Space Jump. Instead of getting a basketball, I would get a cricket ball. Suck all the energy out of him and then I get the superpower.”
