England fast bowler Mark Wood, who’s wickets helped England to a first semi-final appearance in the tournament since 1992 said that helping his side reach the semi-finals at his home ground in Durham was one of the “proudest moments” of his career.
“Singing the national anthem with my whole family in the crowd was pretty special. The ground looked great and the result was even better.”
England thrashed the Black Caps by 119 runs after posting 305-8 batting first.
“I’ve kept my spot through my form and normally I would have been rested but I have felt pretty good so there’s been no need to change.
“If the tactics need to change and I don’t play then that’s fine but Morgs [Eoin Morgan] has given me a lot of confidence and backed me all the way.”
