England cricket team would be shocked after an early elimination from the ODI WC 2023. The Jos Buttler-led side looked clueless against the island nation. Nasser Hussain was quite fumed up on the English players. Nasser Hussain said that the players should take responsibility for the loss.
England’s next challenge is against India on 29th October at Lucknow. The form of Ben Stokes has been a concern for the side and in his inability to bowl has hurt the side. It won’t be wrong to say that the sudden retirement of skipper Eoin Morgan didn’t do any wonders for the side as it changed the dynamics of the team.
India on the other side would be over the moon after winning 5 matches out of 5 in the tournament. It would be interesting to see whether Shardul Thakur is rested for the high voltage clash or not as earlier the veteran pacer Mohammed Shami bagged a 5 wicket haul against New Zealand and grabbed eyeballs of the billion people
England should spoil India’s party- Nasser Hussain
Nasser Hussain was writing in his column for The Daily Mail. Nasser Hussain pointed out that England should play fearless brand of cricket and should play for the badge. Nasser Hussain stated that the side should not lose hope and make a point that they are not a finished product.
“The players must take the responsibility for this. I’m not a great one for cliches like playing for the badge but that’s what England have got to do now. They have to go to Lucknow on Sunday and spoil India’s party. They must remind India and the world just how great cricketers they have been – and still are,”
“I’ve heard people at home are doing that but this is not the fault of the Hundred or the Blast or the fact England’s best players do not play much 50-over cricket. They are just lame excuses,”
“How much 50-over cricket do Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play? Or Heinrich Klaasen? Players around the world learn from T20 franchise cricket and ours learn from a domestic structure that helped make them the best white-ball side in the world,”
