- Players to be rested in busy start to Ashes and World Cup year
- McCullum praises Stokes’s man management and positivity
Mark Wood and Rehan Ahmed are expected to sit out England’s next Test assignment against New Zealand in February as the management juggle their resources during a busy start to an Ashes and World Cup year.
Wood proved a trump card for Ben Stokes on the torpid pitches of Pakistan, sealing the series with a three-wicket burst in Multan and backing this up with another wholehearted display when the historic 3-0 clean sweep was secured in Karachi.
