“The ICC do change the rules quite a bit with qualification and to be honest I don’t think it would affect in any way the way we have played in this tournament,” coach Matthew Mott said of the qualifying process. “So it’s not a big deal.” Across the other four losses, England batted 40.3 overs against Afghanistan, 22 overs against South Africa and 34.5 overs against India – a gross under utilization of its batting talent.
The English bowling has also suffered from the inability of Chris Woakes and Mark Wood to make a collective impression on Indian wickets. Its bowling attack was destabilized by Reece Topley’s hand injury that ruled him out of the World Cup.
