CT: England Don't Have Enough 50-over Experience To Be Called Contenders, Says Butcher
ODI World Cup: Former England cricketer Mark Butcher believes the Jos Buttler-led side just don’t have enough experience of playing 50-over matches and be termed as serious contenders to win the upcoming Champions Trophy, starting from February 19.
Since the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, England have won just four out of 14 ODIs and recently faced a 0-3 series sweep in India in what was Brendon McCullum’s first series as the white-ball head coach. In the Champions Trophy, England will face Australia, Afghanistan and South Africa in its league matches – the teams who defeated them in the 2023 ODI World Cup group stage.
"The first thing that sprung to my mind during the first two ODIs was just how naive most of our cricket is in the 50-over format. I thought 'why might that be?'. It's because we don't play any. There is a world of difference in terms of the tempo that the game needs to continuously be played at."
