His father recently passed away, and Woakes has decided to take a break from cricket.
Woakes shared his grief on social media, writing, “The last month has been the toughest of my life. Sadly, my dad passed away in early May.”
He emphasized the importance of being with his family during this difficult time.
Woakes said, “We’re all obviously grieving and trying to get through some of the hardest moments of our lives.”
This explains why Woakes hasn’t played for Warwickshire this season or the Punjab Kings in the IPL.
Missing these tournaments also meant he wasn’t selected for England’s T20 World Cup squad.
Woakes paid tribute to his father, who was incredibly proud of his cricket career.
Woakes said, “I’ll start playing again for Warwickshire, a team my Dad loved dearly, when the time is right for me and my family.”
Chris Woakes is a seasoned all-rounder with over 200 international appearances.
