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.

When England cricketers walked out for a warm-up match, Wood sang the famous 'Jerusalem' song from Barmy Army. He stood in an empty stadium and can be seen waving a flag too.

The 54-second long clip also included Wood paying tribute to his fellow fast bowler Jimmy Anderson. 

Here is the video:

Cricketers from both the teams have undergone the COVID-19 test before the series. They will be tested again on Sunday.
