England pacer Mark Wood has left the cricket fans and experts into amusement after his hilarious act in the ongoing Test match between West Indies and England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
On Day 2, during West Indies’ batting, England Test skipper Joe Root called for a team huddle to discuss their strategy on the pitch. However, Wood was positioned on the opposite side of the field as he was fielding at fine leg.
