Defending champions England should not be taken lightly at the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1. The ninth edition of the T20 World Cup is set to be held in the West Indies and USA until June 29. 20 teams are set to take part, and all eyes will be on England under the leadership of Jos Buttler. The Three Lions have been placed in Group B where they will face Australia, Oman, Namibia and Scotland. England are expected to reach the Super 8s where things will get tighter. Buttler’s England had a poor outing in the ICC 2023 World Cup in India, and they will want to come hard after learning from the mistakes committed.
England have been three-time finalists of the tournament. They won in 2010, beating Australia. In 2016, the West Indies beat England at Eden Gardens. The 2022 edition saw England overcome Pakistan at the MCG. England would want to become the first side to lift three T20 World Cups.
Earlier, England picked up a strong 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup. It’s safe to say the squad is power-packed across departments, and there are not many holes. It’s the batting that is England’s main strength, with power hitters everywhere. There is plenty of experience riding, given the majority of the players are accustomed to global T20 leagues. The biggest decision was to include Jofra Archer, who returns to international cricket for the first time in more than a year. His last appearance for England was in March 2023. He has been on the road to recovery from an elbow injury that required surgeries.
Here are the complete details of England’s squad.
