Yes, a good read.
It seems to confirm that he will play for another year.
Also, the context for the interview was the launch of an ECB scheme:
"Woakes was present for the launch of the ECB's new Cricket for Teachers training scheme being rolled out across the nation's state secondary schools this academic year."
About time!

Watched him on Cricinfo Switch Hit podcast, he got asked about next season, he sounds a bit undecided, he found last season very hard physically though he did acknowledge it would/will be hard to walk away etc.

I suspect that his budding role as a Sky pundit might be the issue that could get in the way of a full season with the Bears.

He said last night he’s playing for us next season.

Training starts on 6th November

The ambition is to retain the county championship which was warmly received by a big crowd. Four of the squad there to see his book launch. Sounds like he enjoyed the season and the two day victories helped!
