Dud’s Army urged for one last push

- MIKE WALTERS

MICHAEL VAUGHAN says England’s 2019 World Cup winners should be shunted towards the sunset in a “reset” of the white-ball squad. 

But the former England captain and Ashes legend believes one-day coach Matthew Mott should survive any cull after the disastrous campaign in India.

Vaughan urged England’s Dad’s Army – who became a Dud’s Army on a five-match losing streak which ended their defence of the trophy – to bequeath a farewell present for the next generation by securing a place at the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Skipper Jos Buttler’s flops sign off against Pakistan in Kolkata tomorrow needing to finish in the top eight of the World Cup round-robin table to book a spot at the 50-over format’s next global event in two years’ time.
