The England team is currently participating in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Let us tell you, the England team is currently participating in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Joe Root is not participating for England in this important tournament. Not only this, England’s performance has also been very poor in the T20 World Cup 2024. They have played two matches so far, out of which the team has won one while they have faced defeat in one.

The team has only one point and it has become very difficult for the England team to reach the Super 8. At present, Joe Root will be very happy with the achievement he has been awarded.
