Well, what do you know, a World Cup that an England team are favourites to win.

Jos Buttler’s men land in India as defending champions and the team to beat, having won the ODI World Cup for the first time in 2019, before winning the T20 World Cup in Australia less than a year ago. They are the only team in history to hold both titles at once.

A deeply experienced team, just four of the 15 squad members are below the age of 30, but while Buttler is keen to stress this is not a Last Dance scenario for a generational group of players, the truth is the conclusion of this tournament could see a number of established figures – such as Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – bow out from the format.

India, playing in home conditions, will be England’s major competition in a tournament which begins with a large pinch of the unknown seasoned across it. T20 cricket has taken over in the four years since the last ODI World Cup and teams are playing fewer ODIs as a result.

England’s opening game of the 2023 World Cup is a repeat of the 2019 final as they take on New Zealand, with the match also acting as the curtain raiser for the competition as a whole.

The two teams are very familiar with each other at the moment, having just faced off in four T20s and four ODIs to round off the English summer, with the T20 series drawn two-all and England winning the ODI series 3-1.
