Watch: Prankster Mark Wood hijacks Ben Stokes' press conference | Ashes 2023 | viral video

It's no secret that Mark Wood is the prankster in the England cricket team.

Wood, who's known for his playful and mischievous nature, continues to bring joy and laughter to his teammates. While his fiery fast bowling prowess remains evident during the ongoing Ashes series, off the field, he never misses an opportunity to have some fun with his friends.

During Ben Stokes' pre-match press conference ahead of the fifth Test at the Oval, Wood couldn't resist pulling off a playful prank. As the Barbie and Oppenheimer craze sweeps the world, Wood playfully hijacked the microphone and surprised everyone by playing the catchy Barbie Song right when Ben Stokes settled down for his presser.

The mischievous act sparked laughter and smiles all around, even causing Ben Stokes to share a laugh with his fellow teammate from Durham, who was amusingly standing at a distance.
