England’s humiliating cricket World Cup exit is more than just a drubbing. The sporting catastrophe will reinforce the English worry that the world is changing and they are not keeping pace
The vultures are circling. The carcass of England’s campaign at the cricket World Cup lies out in the open, the harsh sun of an Indian November illuminating things more fiercely than an X-ray machine could. Seven matches, six losses, two points and bottom of the table.
England may not even feature in the 2025 International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy. Set to be hosted by Pakistan, the tournament will feature the seven other highest-placed teams from this World Cup. England could win their two remaining group matches and make the cut, but the irony is just too delicious.
