'As long as the environment is safe... I'd be willing to do it': England bowler Mark Wood opens up on prospect of six Tests in eight weeks behind closed doors this summer... as he admits squad are 'desperate to get going'

England's cricketers are ready to spend two months this summer in lockdown together so they can return to action in back to back Test series against West Indies and Pakistan.

Even though some Premier League footballers have expressed concerns about 'Project Restart', there are fewer reservations within an England team who are prepared to play six Tests in eight weeks behind closed doors at the Ageas Bowl and Emirates Old Trafford.

Mark Wood, the England fast bowler who has produced the best form of his career over the last year or so in both red and white-ball cricket, says the players have 'asked good questions' about the safety of returning in July and have been given 'good answers'.
