NEW DELHI: Former England cricketer Chris Woakes discussed the team’s chances of winning the upcoming Ashes series against arch-rivals Australia and said that Ben Stokes and his team ‘have a hell of a chance’ to claim the famous urn.
The Ashes will be played in Australia this time, and England, who haven’t won the series on Australian soil since the 2010-11 edition, will be hoping to turn the tables this winter.
Woakes, meanwhile, announced his international retirement, marking the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy against India as his career’s last game. The 36-year-old sustained a major injury to his shoulder, which ruled him out of England’s forthcoming tour.
