ECB has announced England’s 15-Member Squad for the coming ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The Squad looks very balanced. It has got everything, a huge batting lineup with destructive batters, an exceptional fast bowling attack, and an outstanding spin department. In short, They have every resource in their pocket. The batting order of the team can blast any team on any given day. The team Has got punch-hitting all-rounders too.
But one thing concerning about the team is the last-minute exclusion of Ben Stocks. He is an exceptional all-rounder. Equally good with ball and bat. His loss is indeed a big setback for the England team. Another x-factor that the England T20 team is going to face is the Jofra Archer factor. If these two were in the team England would be one of the strong contenders for the T20 World Cup.
England team list for the coming ICC Men’s T20 World 2021.
Squad: Eoin Morgan, Moeen Ali, Jonathan Bairstow, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood; Reserves: Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, James Vince
Reserves: Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, James Vince
Tymal Mills is making a come back and what a moment for come back. Just before the T20 World Cup. England’s head coach said that Mills’ performances in the T20 Blast and The Hundred this season had cemented his position in the side. “Tymal Mills deserves his inclusion and has demonstrated over the past couple of years, but particularly this summer that he has all skills to succeed at this level,”
As far as the bowling of the teams is concerned, there are no limitations in any department. The fast-bowling attack of the team is one of the dangerous bowling attacks around the world. Not only this they have got batting and bowling all-rounders as well. The spin-bowling department has got top-class spinners.
England squad for T20 2021 has been doing a marvelous job. For the past few years, they have adopted a new approach which has boosted their success rate a great deal. They are now playing with attacking intent. No matter what the situation is, the world cup England team does not allow its opponents to feel free. The attacking approach of the team has worked in favor of them.
England is one of the unluckiest teams in the cricketing world. England has won their first T20 Title in 2010 WCT20. They are one of the forerunners of cricket history. But England’s track record in the ODIs is not that good in terms of winning the trophy.
But all those struggling are paying now. The ECB has prepared an England world cup squad that has got every ability to showcase. They attack and attack even though they lose the match. And this is the approach that makes the team one of the hot favorites of the mega event.
Top-Order
It is really important for any team that its top-order should score the bulk of the runs. If this happens the winning percentage of the team increases a great deal. This is what England is very lucky about. The t20 squad for England has got destructive top-order batters. Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler. Not all of them will open the innings but anyone among them can open.
Strong Middle-Order
It is good for every team to consolidate on the start that the top-order provides. The middle order of a team can face three types of scenarios. The first one is; a flying start by the top-order batsmen. In this case, the middle-order has to capitalize on the start and has to keep the momentum of the run’s flow.
The second scenario is that the top-order provides laid an average foundation. In this case, the middle-order has to increase the momentum of the run flow so that the lower-order could capitalize on that.
England – Super12, Group 1
Matches
23 Oct – v WI
27 Oct – v B2
30 Oct – v AUS
1 Nov – v A1
6 Nov – v SA
The last situation is the most devastating one. When your team has a horrible start. In this situation, the middle-order role becomes so vital. Their first duty is to negotiate the new ball, keep the scoring board ticking and provide a solid foundation for the lower-order.
England cricket world cup squad middle-order has got all these abilities. They can cope with any situation. Their middle-order is not only technically very strong but mentally as well. Eoin Morgan the captain of the side is one of the top-class middle-order batters. Liam Livingstone is also a hard-hitter middle-order batsman and Dawid Malan is a solid middle-order who can bat in the top-order as well.
Lower-order
The lower-order batters of the England team are very destructive. Sam Curran is another who does not bowl very fast but smashes the ball out of the park as well. Moin Ali is another spin all-rounder in the team.
David Willey, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, are genuine bowling all-rounders. Adil Rashid is one top-class spinner in the world, David Willey is the fast-bowling all-rounder with hard-hitting capability and Chris Jordan is well-known for his variations. He can use long-handle in batting as well.
Mark Wood is the fast bowler of the pack. He can destroy any batting lineup with its fast and furious bowling. The combo of Jofra, Wood, and Stoke can be a real threat to any opposition. So, every team has to be very careful if they want to put a substantial target on the scoreboard or chase any target.
In short Team England has got everything in its armory. A complete batting lineup with big-hitters, solid batsmen, outstanding fast bowlers and, an accurate spin attack. So, a complete package for England this time to lift the trophy.
Looking at the England T20 players. Everyone looks quite explosive. This is the predicted England squad for the coming ICC T20 World Cup. So we can expect some changes in the team as some of the new players have been performing outstandingly against Pakistan. Like Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson. Every team will announce its world cup squad very soon.
