Chris Woakes could reject surgery on shoulder in bid to be fit for Ashes
Chris Woakes provides injury update ahead of Ashes
- England bowler Chris Woakes dislocated his left shoulder during a recent Test match against India.
- Woakes is awaiting scan results but is considering rehabilitation instead of surgery to recover for the Ashes.
- Surgery would require a three to four-month recovery period, likely ruling him out of the Ashes series, which begins on November 21.
- An eight-week rehabilitation programme could potentially allow him to feature in the Ashes, though with a risk of reoccurrence.
- Woakes is a crucial part of England's bowling attack following recent retirements and changes.
