IPL contract feels unreal like a computer game, says Mark Wood
IPL auction, England pacer Mark Wood said receiving a contract was similar to playing a computer game like 'Football Manager' – "almost not real". Wood was bought by new franchise Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 7.50 crore on the first day of the IPL auction last week. "As soon as the final amount was confirmed Sarah asked what it was in pounds – I might have to freeze all our accounts so it doesn't disappear," Wood told 'The Guardian.' "But we're delighted. It's a weird experience. It feels like a computer game – almost not real, like transfers on Football Manager – but it's also very real when you get signed," he added. The 32-year-old, who had withdrawn from last year's auction to spend more time with his family, recalled the scene in his house during the auction.
