Delhi: The England team fell out of the Champions Trophy (ICC Champions Trophy 2025), when they lost by 8 runs against Afghanistan in Lahore on Wednesday. Jose Butler’s team lost to Australia in their first Group B match and then fell out of the tournament after losing to Afghanistan.
Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin questioned England’s defeat and his attitude on his YouTube channel.
He said, “I saw Jose Butler’s interview after the match. He spoke very clearly that he does not know what are the plans for his captaincy in future. The England team also performed poorly in the 2023 ODI World Cup, and now they also dropped out of the 2025 Champions Trophy. He did not even reach the final of the World Test Championship. In such a situation, England stands at a difficult turn. “
The former spinner further said, “Ben Docket said after the first ODI defeat against India that he did not care about losing 3–0 in the series, as he wants to defeat India in the final of the Champions Trophy. Can any team win the final of the big tournament so easily? This reflects their mindset. “
Questions raised on England’s batting
Ashwin said about the England batsmen, “There is no stability in England’s batting. He was describing Harry Brook as a next generation superstar, but his game is also falling. Now the pressure to perform well on them has increased. “
“He will have to ask himself what England got from Bazball’s thinking. Ravi Shastri also rightly said that England will have to take the circumstances of the subcontinent seriously. ”
