Will England keep the title? What do the sources say?-TGN

Jofra Archer is England’s only traveling reserve player for the ICC Cricket World Cup this month. However, England had the opportunity to take three players, but they sent one.

The final players from England were decided on September 17, 2023. The only change made from the squad was one. Harry Brook took the place of Jason Roy. Hence, Jofra Archer is the only traveling reserve for the World Cup.

Luke Wright also explained why Archer was the only traveling reserve player from England. Archer is also a part of the rehabilitation process due to his elbow injury.

Wright said, “There is no such official announcement or declaration to send over three traveling reserves. Also, there is neither any request to send replacement players other than the reserve players.”

He added, “There is actually no need for reserves too. It is only important for the selection panel to let the guy keep hitting or bowling to tick off the requirement criteria for the game as a reserve.”

“You don’t need to send over or submit the names of three traveling reserves. You can pick any one or two as well. We are doing what’s working out for us officially to send the best possible player.”

The World Cup will last seven weeks (including the warm-up games). Every team must play two warm-up games. Also, they need to participate in nine league matches. And if they qualify for the end game, they will play one more game to win the trophy.

In case of a draw, one more game will be held between the two final teams.

Sources say that England will not be able to win the title because:

1. Ben strokes calls off his retirement from the ODI match. It is a red flag for their campaign of the game. It shows how insecure, unconfident, and confused the England team is with its current team players. Strokes has always over-delivered for the team. He had the best game in the T20 World Cup 2022 final. However, his denial of retirement shows the self-doubt of the management.

2. Jos Buttler has earned a trophy as the skipper of the match. His leadership capabilities are excellent. However, this is his first match to India as England’s captain. And it is assumed that the Indian crowd will not favor his game style.

3. England is aggressive in their game. Their cricket approach is hyped across the globe. Their strategy is to attack the other cricket team in every possible way. In the T20 World Cup 2022, the bowlers had the wickets in their hands. They also won the trophy using this misleading strategy.

Hence, England is assumed to lose its title in this match.

England’s Schedule:

They have two warm-up games at Guwahati. The nine leagues will be held in eight cities in India. Wright added that it would be a tiring game and tour for someone not included in the main team. Hence, they have decided to send Archer as the only traveling reserve.

Additionally, Archer will get the best atmosphere for his rehabilitation process. He will be around the best physios and team members. It will get him ready for the final game of the World Cup.

“Taking too many players would be a tough trip when they are not actively involved in the squad. And, this is something to be aware of.”

“It will be good for Jofra. He can continue with his rehab while training with the best possible team. So, that’s what we are the most positive about,” added Wright.
