Chris Woakes has indicated he's unlikely to play 50-over cricket after this 12 months's World Cup and admitted he could be pleased by no means to play one other Test exterior of England if it meant prolonging his profession as a complete.Woakes performed a big function with bat and ball on his return to England's Test aspect of their three-wicket win at Headingley and is amongst their handful of all-format gamers. But at 34, he's acutely aware of making an attempt to increase his taking part in profession and can steadiness his worldwide commitments with alternatives on the franchise circuit.

Fitness allowing, Woakes is a assured choice for England's defence of the 50-over World Cup in India later this 12 months. But, talking at a #Funds4Runs session organised by LV= Insurance at Stockport Georgians Cricket Club, he mentioned he could be "amazed" if he performed one other ODI after that match.

"I would be amazed if I played 50-over cricket beyond the World Cup," Woakes mentioned. "It'll be hard in India but we have a great team and squad that could hopefully do something special. At the end of that, you map out what the future might look like as an all-format player, and the next cycle: I certainly won't be playing ODI cricket at 38-39 years of age."

Woakes pulled up "extremely sore" after the Headingley Test, which reminded him "how hard Test cricket is on the body" following a 15-month hole between appearances. But he has retained his spot in England's staff for Wednesday's Test at Emirates Old Trafford, and is assured he'll be capable to overcome a brief turnaround to play at The Oval if chosen.

"I've not been picked yet, and I'd never say never; never say no," Woakes mentioned concerning the prospect of travelling to India. "I don't know if I'd be selected on a tour like that: my away record speaks for itself. I've genuinely not thought about it, and there is a lot to come before that."

As much as I'd love to go to India and take 30 wickets in the series, it's highly unlikely. You get to my age and start thinking, 'How can I prolong my career?'"

"In the immediate future, I'm trying to play as much as I can," he mentioned. "[But] it's common knowledge that you get to this sort of stage in your career and you also want to look after yourself financially. I don't think any players should be begrudged for that.

"If my profession completed tomorrow, then I'd nonetheless be proud of the way it's gone. I'd snatch your hand off for what I've achieved and the quantity I've performed for England."
