and India have won it and stuck England in. Full teams to come, but this just in from the tourists:
And a rare pleasure it will be, with ODIs very much the lesser-spotted format in recent seasons. England played a total of 18 across the last two, Covid-affected years, while they ripped through 24 Tests and 29 T20s – there are any number of reasons to look forward to October’s T20 World Cup, but the fact that in its aftermath the white-ball focus will shift to the 50-over game in preparation for England’s defence of that World Cup in 2023 is definitely one of them.
It’s fair to say, whatever the players insisted at the time, that the two teams could have taken preparation for this World Cup a little more seriously. “Some people see it as just a bit of fun but, from my view, it’s another great chance to win something with my country,” Paul Collingwood said as the team set off. “That’s why, not just me, but all the guys are taking this tournament very seriously. If we could win the inaugural World Cup I would be very proud and pleased.
