Mark Wood strips to his boxers to take catch in fielding drill but no-one is sure why

England quick Mark Wood has baffled fans after stripping down to his boxers and taking a catch during a training drill ahead of the first ODI against Bangladesh.

Wood is set to return to action on England's white ball tour of Bangladesh, having been rested for the ODI series against South Africa and the Test tour of New Zealand. And the 33-year-old took part in a bizarre fielding drill before the series began.

In a clip shared on social media, Wood can be seen discarding his hat, sunglasses shirt and shorts before taking a high catch and falling to the ground after one of the England catches had hit a tennis ball up in the air with a racket.
