The video ends with Wood paying tribute to his fellow teammates and fast bowler Jimmy Anderson. Since being shared the video has received nearly 10,000 likes and more than 2,500 re-tweets. As Wood took to the stage, the England team were preparing for the final day of their warm-up fixture. Wood was a member of England cricket team for the intra-squad fixture ahead of the three-match series with West Indies. The match was scheduled for May but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first Test will start on 8 July at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. The other two matches will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester. Meanwhile, Sam Curran tested negative for coronavirus and the player is expected to join the England cricket squad in a couple of days. He will, however, remain under medical supervision. The player will undergo another COVID-19 test on Sunday, 5 July, along with his other team members.
