England cricketer Mark Wood didn't let his teammates feel the absence of the Barmy Army, an English cricket passionate group. Barmy Army comes in a big number to support England but after the COVID-19 pandemic, no spectator will be allowed inside the stadium.

Cricket is set to resume at the Rose Bowl in Southampton between England and West Indies on 8 July.
