It\u2019s great!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>England expect to name their final 15-man World Cup before their series against Ireland, which starts next Wednesday and with Jason Roy unable to play any of the first three ODIs due to repeated back spasms, Woakes insisted that the opener will be \u2018desperate to get out there\u2019 at Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think he\u2019s hopeful (of playing). He was close to playing in the morning (on Wednesday). It\u2019s a shame when he got to the Oval and started moving, he had another twinge again,\u2019 said Woakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This close to a World Cup, it\u2019s a risk to throw him into the game when you\u2019re unsure as to how he\u2019s going to go so fingers crossed, he\u2019s alright for Friday. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s frustrated as well. Pre-World Cup you want to get a bit of form behind you and play as many games as possible but he\u2019s a resilient character.
