England Cricket Squad & the World Cup- A Brief History
Curiously, the initial trio of World Cup editions (1975, 1979, and 1983) took place in the United Kingdom. England, having participated in every edition from 1975 to 2019, have emerged victorious in 48 out of their 83 World Cup matches. They have encountered defeat in 32 matches and found themselves in two tied contests (with one match ending without a result).
As previously noted, the England cricket team clinched their maiden World Cup title in 2019, marking a historic moment in their cricketing journey. Stokes, who reversed his decision to retire from ODIs, has consistently been a reliable performer for England in the ODI World Cups. Having appeared in 11 ODI World Cup matches, he has amassed an impressive total of 465 runs at an average of 66.42, which includes notching up five half-centuries.
The 32-year-old has also proven his prowess with the ball, claiming seven wickets at an average of 35.14. His standout performance came against Bangladesh during the 2019 World Cup in Cardiff, where he recorded his best figures of 3/23.
England Cricket & 2019 Cricket World Cup Controversy
In a thrilling ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 final held at Lord’s, London on a Sunday, the England cricket team found themselves requiring nine runs from the last three deliveries. During this decisive moment, a throw from the outfield made contact with a diving Ben Stokes’ bat and sped towards the boundary, resulting in England receiving six runs when they should have only managed to secure two.
This turn of events had a profound impact on the match’s balance, leading to an electrifying contest that extended into the Super Over. Ultimately, England clinched their inaugural World Cup title, triumphing over New Zealand, who were competing in their second consecutive final.
