Defending ICC cricket World Cup champions England are the team to be taken seriously in the global event to be held in India from October 5 onward. England are a force to be reckoned with and the recent 3-1 ODI series win over New Zealand at home was a testament to what one can expect. England made the right move by coaxing Ben Stokes to come out of ODI retirement and have one last hit at the World Cup. Stokes played a match-winning 182-run knock in the third ODI against the Kiwis to highlight what he brings. Although he won’t be bowling, England feel his presence will bring an aura around, besides his match-winning abilities with the bat being a real deal.
England’s main weapon is a solid batting unit led by skipper Jos Buttler. Chris Woakes can be massive with the ball as the side boasts plenty of proven all-rounders. England are a side that bats deep and can always be in the hunt. Notably, the 2019 champions open their World Cup campaign against finalists New Zealand on October 5 in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the World Cup, we present the complete analysis of the England squad.
