The former England all-rounder Chris Woakes speaks exclusively to talkSPORT's Sam Ellard following the release of his new autobiography, 'The Wizard', which is out now. They reflect on that iconic image during the 2025 Test at The Oval of him batting in a sling, why he doesn't want to be remembered for that, and his memories of playing under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. He also explains why the early success was one of the worst things to happen to 'Bazball', and reflects on what it was like in the Lord's dressing during and after their 2019 World Cup victory over New Zealand.
