Career story
Christopher Roger Woakes was born in Birmingham and is a right-handed batter and right-arm fast-medium bowler. ECB, ICC, Warwickshire and the exact Wikipedia page identify the same England all-rounder.
The Wikipedia API table dated 5 May 2026 records 635 first-class wickets from 188 matches, 22 five-wicket hauls and four ten-wicket matches, with best figures of 9/36. It also records 6,941 runs with a high score of 152 not out.
The table separately records 192 Test wickets and 2,034 Test runs plus 173 ODI wickets. Tests are already contained within first-class cricket, so the aggregates are not added together.
ICC records that Woakes retired from international cricket on 29 September 2025 after 217 England matches, 396 wickets and 3,705 runs. ICC identifies him as a member of England's 2019 ODI World Cup and 2022 T20 World Cup winning sides.
Retirement ends the current international classification but not domestic or franchise cricket. Trophy membership, appearances and career aggregates remain distinct facts.
ECB records Woakes' career-best 9/36 for Warwickshire in 2016 and his selection as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year. ECB also records that his 19 wickets in the final three Tests of the 2023 Ashes earned Player of the Series and ICC Men's Player of the Month for July.
The bowling record belongs to first-class cricket, while the Ashes award covers a specific series. Neither is presented as a permanent current ranking.
Official Welsh Fire and MI Emirates squad directories establish the additional current team relationships.

Chris Woakes is an English all-rounder whose canonical This profile page brings together documented identity, playing role, dated career statistics, records, achievements and current team context. Born on 2 March 1989 in Birmingham, England, Chris Woakes bats right-handed and bowls right-arm fast-medium. The profile separates slow-changing identity facts from match-driven aggregates so an API refresh cannot silently rewrite reviewed biography.
The canonical player URL is designed to serve team pages, fixtures, scorecards and results. Each membership can point here, while the career is stored once. Exact-name linking is allowed only when the player identity is unambiguous; a surname or shortened feed label must not be joined automatically when another cricketer could match.
Chris Woakes was 37 years old on 12 August 2026. The page shows both the documented birth date, 2 March 1989, and the age review date because age changes while date of birth does not. The birthplace is recorded as Birmingham, England; it is not used to infer current residence, nationality beyond the published record or any private address.
An age field without an as-of date becomes stale, so future profile refreshes can recalculate the number without changing the URL or historic cricket content. If an authoritative identity source corrects a date or place, editors must review and record the correction rather than allowing a statistical provider to overwrite the core identity automatically.
Chris Woakes is classified as a all-rounder and bats right-handed and bowls right-arm fast-medium. These are distinct fields. A batter may have a bowling style without being an all-rounder, while a genuine all-rounder requires a substantive record in both disciplines. When the mapped identity source does not publish a bowling style, this page states that limitation instead of inventing one.
Runs, batting average, strike rate, wickets, bowling average, economy and catches answer different questions. One cannot stand in for another if a source leaves a field blank. The rendered table hides unavailable decorative cells and retains every meaningful value that Wikipedia publishes for the exact mapped player.
Career rows are synchronized from the exact English Wikipedia page through the MediaWiki API. The current table is dated 5 May 2026. Wikipedia is used as a structured secondary baseline, while ICC, national-board, league and club sources verify awards, selections, current teams and important match or season claims. This division prevents one source from being treated as authoritative for every type of fact.
The API does not invent missing figures. It imports only published table cells, preserves separate format labels and stores the provider URL and sync time. If the request fails, the last confirmed snapshot stays visible with its date. A failed refresh must never blank the page or substitute guessed statistics.
Test, ODI, T20I, first-class, List A and overall T20 records overlap in defined ways. Tests are part of first-class cricket and ODIs are part of List A cricket. Adding those rows would double-count matches, runs and wickets. A high score, best bowling return, hundred or five-wicket haul is also already contained in the relevant career aggregate.
The article can explain a milestone separately because context helps readers, but it does not add that performance again. Rankings, annual awards, series returns and lifetime totals also use different time windows. Every record is worded with its format, event or date so a historical achievement cannot be mistaken for a current live ranking.
The season context is Official Warwickshire directory after his September 2025 international retirement. A team directory or squad announcement establishes membership at its check date, but it does not prove that Chris Woakes appeared in every fixture, stayed available throughout the competition or produced a particular match figure.
Appearances, runs, wickets, catches and results must come from the connected scorecard. A retirement or later transfer changes membership context, not the permanent player slug or past career totals.
A league may publish an auction price, draft band, retention deduction or registered-player value for a named season. Such a number has a specific competition, currency and contractual meaning. It is not automatically net salary after tax, guaranteed cash received, endorsement income, total career earnings or present personal wealth.
No audited financial statement reviewed for this article establishes Chris Woakes's current net worth. This profile therefore does not repeat speculative biography-site estimates. Where an official competition document publishes a defined price, it can be discussed with the exact season and label, but it must never be transformed into a broader financial claim.
This cricket biography does not fill space with relationship rumours, private addresses, contact details or unsupported claims about a spouse, girlfriend, children or family wealth. A fact is included only when a dependable source has made it public and it materially helps explain the player's cricket path or a documented public event.
Leaving an unverified personal field out is not incomplete research. It is the accurate result when reliable evidence is absent. The page instead uses its depth for format records, awards, team history, role, source method and update boundaries—topics a reader can verify without intruding on private life.
Achievements on this page are editorially reviewed and sourced to the organization that awarded, staged or recorded them. A championship is a team result, an award is a formal recognition, a century is an innings milestone, and a ranking is a dated comparative table. They may relate to the same season but are not interchangeable.
Career statistics can change after matches, while a completed award or historic match remains fixed. The automated Wikipedia sync is therefore allowed to refresh unlocked aggregates only. It cannot rewrite the wording of an ICC award, change a current-team membership, infer a private fact or approve a new image.
The displayed image depicts the exact player and retains a linked provenance and rights record. The profile credit identifies Official Warwickshire named player page and exact 600 by 780 portrait. The local file provides stable responsive delivery, and use of the image does not imply endorsement by the photographer, team, competition or player.
Image approval is independent of factual approval. A correct face may still be unusable when rights are unclear, and a reusable cricket photograph may depict the wrong person. Exact identity, file dimensions, visual usefulness, credit, licence or editorial-use permission, and source URL were reviewed before this profile was allowed to pass the portrait gate.
The focus keyword is exactly “Chris Woakes”. The browser title and visible H1 are both “Chris Woakes Age, Stats, 635 First-Class Wickets and 9/36 Record”. The title names subjects actually covered on the page instead of showing only the player name or appending a generic word such as profile. This resolves the mismatch in which metadata promised one page while the visible heading showed another.
The meta description also describes only visible, sourced material. It does not claim live statistics, an unsupported salary, a private relationship or a current ranking without a dated check. Title, heading, introduction, sections and structured data therefore describe the same entity and editorial promise.
Identity and playing styles are checked against the exact player record. Wikipedia supplies the dated structured table. ICC, national boards, leagues and clubs supply primary context for achievements and memberships. Scorecards control match performance. Wikimedia Commons controls the portrait provenance and licence record. Each source has a defined job instead of being cited decoratively.
The stored checked date is 12 August 2026. A future update should retain the old snapshot until a new one passes identity and structure checks. Conflicting numbers must be investigated by format and cutoff date, not averaged. A newer source is not automatically better if it describes a different competition or statistical scope.
This profile is complete enough for editorial review but remains noindex while it is a draft or scheduled item. It becomes public only as part of an exact five-profile daily batch after the title, copy, statistics, sources, FAQ, conclusion, identity and portrait checks all pass. A working URL by itself is not permission for search indexing.
Scheduling this article therefore advances the local editorial queue without claiming a public deployment, Google indexing or rankings. The canonical URL remains stable when the later publication state changes.
This page aims for completeness without pretending that every searchable claim is knowable. Reliable cricket sources can establish a birth date, playing role, match statistics, award, squad membership and result. They usually cannot establish private wealth, take-home pay, fitness today, a confidential contract or a personal relationship. Those boundaries are disclosed instead of hidden.
Missing source cells are not replaced with dashes in the public narrative or inferred from adjacent numbers. If a new licensed data provider later supplies a clearly defined statistic, it may be added with its own source and date. Until then the most accurate answer is the evidence-backed record already shown.
