Title: England’s Woakes taking break from cricket after father’s death

England all-rounder Chris Woakes has announced that he will be taking a break from cricket following the tragic death of his father. The 35-year-old, who last featured for Sharjah Warriors in the ILT20 back in February, did not participate in this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) with Punjab Kings or for his county side, Warwickshire.

Woakes has been a key player for England in all formats of the game, known for his ability with both bat and ball. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by both his domestic and international teams. The decision to take a break during this difficult time is fully supported by the cricketing community as Woakes focuses on his family and personal well-being.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris Woakes and his family during this challenging period. We hope to see him back on the field soon, refreshed and ready to continue his stellar cricketing career.
