Champions Trophy 2025: England’s 3 defeats in 3 matches, how to revive England in ODIs?

Delhi: In the Champions Trophy under the captaincy of Jose Butler, not just every hope of England’s return to ODI cricket was destroyed, the question arose whether he is still a top team in the ODI? For the first time England could not win a single win in a global tournament. The 1998 ICC Nockout Trophy (this is now Champions Trophy) was out after a match. With a record of 10 defeats in his 11 limited over match since leaving England for the pre-tournament series in India on January 17, they have returned, then the question is to arise that what should England do so that to do ‘return’ in ODIs?

5. Take inspiration from records exiting the bad form

In the Champions Trophy, a lot of players (Salt, Brook, Livingstone and Butler) batted at the out of form and number 3 together, who had never batted at this number before in ODIs. All this can be solved, but simultaneously remember that England was a wonderful team under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan for many years. Do not forget to win, try to return from the top.

4. England himself does not know what is the formula of victory today

So they do not know what to do for victory or what the rest of the teams have learned in the last 6 years? In 2015-19, their top 7 batsmen were scoring at the scoring rate, the next top team was scoring an average of 19.2 runs than India, but now the rest of the teams have come equal to England. To improve the scoring rate is a very big factor on which hard work is needed from England.

3. Bowling is needed the correct nucleus

Before the 2019 World Cup, England got Jofra Archer but the rest of the bowlers could not do anything. Similarly, England failed to create ODI attacks around Archer and Adil Rashid. Archer’s poor fitness further increased. Since the 2019 World Cup, only Afghanistan, West Indies and Bangladesh have taken average less wickets from England in 50 overs of ODI. England are at the bottom of the case since the 2023 World Cup. Another evidence is that in this period, England and Pakistan have given 295 runs per 300 balls, which is the highest. In this way, an attack to take wickets and stop runs will have to be prepared.

2. The success of the team management needs the success

England made Brandon McCullum a new white ball chief coach with the advice of boss Rob and captain Butler, with the hope that he will be successful in Test and the same ‘magic’ in ODIs. It is now clear that the results are not the same as it should have been. Butler has to think whether they are part of the difficult or solution? The team has to be brought back where it should be. At this time the correct think tank is the biggest need to compete to win the tournament.

His ODI form has fallen since Butler himself became captain. This further increased difficult. When the captain tells the decision to leave the captaincy in the middle of the tournament, it is just a gesture of the ‘drowning ship’. Brendon will now have to create a new strategy with the new captain i.e. everything has to be started afresh.

1. How will you win if you ignore playing ODI

England did not have any shortage in ignoring ODI cricket. They are also not stopping their contracts from playing outside in their country through tournaments. If you want to win in ODI cricket, then expert players have to identify, promote them. Even in the schedule of England Lions, ODIs are very low. So how to return? It will start with its 50 overs tournament in May this year, not with The Hundred Tournament. The 2027 World Cup requires a clean scheme and the right support staff. The new captain will also need Jose Butler who returned to form. The mistake has to be avoided by the Matthew Mot. He was added to Morgan with Morgan, but Butler reluctant in Mot’s style and by the time McCullum was brought, it was too late. He took wicketkeeping from Butler but put down in batting order. Such changes are not useful.
