BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: One of the talked factors behind England’s poor run in the ongoing 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup has been the lack of 50-over cricket for the reigning champions in the run-up to their title defence, sparking chatter over the team’s seriousness towards playing a format which has been talked of being in existential crisis.

After winning the 2019 Men’s ODI World Cup title on home soil by playing an attacking brand of 50-over cricket, most of England’s players were either rested, struggled with injuries or quit playing the game.

Moreover, with two T20 World Cups, one of which England won in 2022, and two editions of the World Test Championship meant they never played ODIs at their full strength.
