T20 World Cup is starting from 2 June 2024
While on one hand IPL 2024 is going on, on the other hand cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. It is noteworthy that this time the upcoming tournament is starting from June 2 under the joint hosting of West Indies and USA.
So all the 20 teams are seen finalizing their preparations for this tournament, which also includes the defending champion England cricket team. Let us tell you that England had won this title for the second time by defeating Pakistan in the final of the T20 World Cup held in Australia in the year 2022. The captain of the team at that time was Jos Buttler, so in the upcoming tournament, Butler will once again be seen commanding the England cricket team.
However, before the T20 World Cup, England had recently played a five-match T20 series with West Indies, in which it was defeated 3-2 by the Caribbean team. On the other hand, now England has to play a four-match T20 series against Pakistan to further strengthen its preparations for the T20 World Cup, which will start from May 22.
Also, there is a high possibility that the team that the England and Wales Cricket Board will select for the T20 series against Pakistan will be England’s final team for the T20 World Cup. Also, if we give information about England’s matches in the T20 World Cup, they will be seen playing their first match against Scotland in Barbados on 4th June. After this, the team is also going to be seen playing in league matches with Australia, Oman and Namibia.
England’s probable 15-man squad for T20 World Cup 2024:
Jos Buttler (captain and wicketkeeper), Phil Salt (wicketkeeper), Will Jack, Jonny Bairstow (wicketkeeper), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Tymal Mills, Rehan Ahmed, Reece Topley.
