It’s been a whirlwind year for Birmingham Bears all rounder Chris Woakes. After playing the West Indies in the Caribbean this winter, Woakes then joined the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League before returning to England duty for the ICC Champions Trophy. Unfortunately an injury in England’s first game vs Bangladesh ruled Chris out from the rest of the ICC Champions Trophy and he is now undergoing rehab before joining up with the England camp again. We took this opportunity to catch up with Chris during some rare downtime for him and ask him some burning questions that Bears fans will be keen to hear.
