Planning blamed for failure

ENGLAND FLY WHITE FLAG

ENGLAND have finally admitted that they were left short on preparation and game time for the 2023 World Cup as their tournament unravelled against South Africa.

A heaviest-ever defeat in ODI cricket was the end result, but the seeds for it were sown by a schedule and strategy that effectively turned its back on the 50-over game the day after the last World Cup was won.

With a shiny trophy safely stowed away in the ECB offices at Lord's, eyes and heads were turned elsewhere with the march of T20 cricket and The Hundred eclipsing any other white-ball cricket also in the And with the Test team demanding a shake-up intervening period, the 50-over game did not get the attention that was needed to mount a serious title defence in India.

The hope that the players would either be able to fall back on their experience or talent to get them through without a coherent team or strategy has been brutally exposed.
