England’s World Cup defence is hanging by a thread after losing three of the first four games in India sportsbook
Jos Buttler’s side have come up short against New Zealand, Afghanistan and South Africa and have a mountain to climb to salvage the campaign sportsbook
With five matches left to play in the round robin stage, here’s a closer look at what’s gone wrong and what comes next:Do they still have a chance?With the elongated group format, England still have another five games to play sportsbook between now and November 11 whatever happens sportsbook
Mathematically speaking there are a few shades of grey in terms of what they need to do, but realistically things are already black and white sportsbook
England need wins and lots of them sportsbook
They may well require a perfect run to retain their crown and, with games against the table-topping hosts, rivals Australia and an unpredictable Pakistan, that looks a tough ask sportsbook
What role has selection played in their struggles?Things are certainly a lot less clear than they were four years ago, when Jofra Archer’s late arrival completed the jigsaw sportsbook
First England left Harry Brook out of their provisional squad, then swapped him with Jason Roy at the last minute, installing Dawid Malan as first-choice opener on the eve of the tournament sportsbook
Since landing, things have been even more muddled sportsbook
Reece Topley was omitted from the opener and proved to be the team’s in-form bowler when he was restored to the side sportsbook
More bafflingly still, England picked a phalanx of all-rounders in game one (Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes) and left out all four of them in favour of specialists by game four sportsbook
Is this a step too far for the world beaters of 2019?There is no escaping the fact that this is a side that is rapidly moving to the end of its natural lifespan sportsbook
Eleven of the 15-man squad are north of 30 and there are eight survivors from the squad that triumphed at Lord’s four years ago sportsbook
At times it has been impossible to escape the suspicion that too many of these players have tipped past their peak as 50-over prospects sportsbook
Looking at the core of the side – Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid – it is hard to argue any are sportsbook better one-day cricketers than they were in 2019 sportsbook
Where is the new blood then?Dislodging players who are destined to go down among the country’s all-time greats in the format was never going to be an easy task for the next generation but the lack of renewal is still striking sportsbook
Was it realistic to expect challengers to emerge from a county system that has devalued the domestic 50-over tournament to a second-tier cup sub-servient to The Hundred? Gus Atkinson had played a grand total of two List A games before his ODI debut and Brook admitted this month that he was “learning the format” on the biggest stage of all sportsbook
Expecting a sufficient supply of fresh talent to emerge in the current eco-system looks to be a pipe dream sportsbook
Are there issues over the leadership?The captain-coach relationship sportsbook between Jos Buttler and Matthew Mott got off to a roaring start when they won the T20 World Cup together last year just a few months into their time together sportsbook
But with so much emphasis on the ‘Bazball’ revolution in the Test arena, their job has got trickier sportsbook
With fewer matches, longer gaps and less availability of big names they have been left to pull things together at the last minute and it simply hasn’t worked sportsbook
The decision making has been wanting – from the chopping and changing on the team-sheet to the baffling logic of bowling first in stifling conditions in Mumbai – but the real issues may run deeper and wider than the dressing room alone sportsbook
Eoin Morgan proved his mettle in the immediate aftermath of the botched 2015 campaign when he led with a strong voice and demanded the players and resources to succeed sportsbook
If Buttler and Mott are to succeed in the long run they may need assert themselves in similar style sportsbook

World Rugby have insisted their new plans for a “Nations Championship or Cup” are “for the many, not the few” despite critics suggesting that it will block the progress of emerging nations sportsbook
The sport’s governing body have unveiled a new global calendar that will include the creation of a new, two-tier competition in 2026 sportsbook
The top tier will include the four Rugby Championship teams, the Six Nations and two more sides yet to be confirmed but expected to be Japan and Fiji sportsbook
Below this will sit a second tier of a further 12 teams, with the earliest that one of those dozen could feature in the top tier being 2032 sportsbook
And World Rugby insist that the “certainty and opportunity” that regular fixtures against peers will provide is where the real opportunities for development exist sportsbook
“If rugby is to become a truly global sport, we simply have to make it more relevant and more accessible to more people around the world,” said Bill Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby sportsbook
Bill Beaumont and Alan Gilpin have defended World Rugby’s plans (Getty Images)“A new era is about to begin for our sport sportsbook
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all sportsbook
An era that will support the many, not the few and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries sportsbook
All boats will rise together sportsbook
”Alan Gilpin, chief executive, added: “There is more certainty for more nations as a result of today’s decisions than there has ever been sportsbook
It is not perfect sportsbook
Would we all like relegation and promotion and pathways in these competitions to start sooner in some cases than they are? Absolutely sportsbook
“But those compromises allow for that type of pathway, that type of relegation to take place in the foreseeable future, rather than not in the foreseeable future, which is what the status quo provides sportsbook
Is it perfect? Probably not sportsbook
Is it a hell of a lot sportsbook better than the current situation? Absolutely sportsbook
”The revamped calendar will not include a “Nations Championship” in years in which a men’s World Cup or British & Irish Lions tour will occur, in theory providing room for increased “crossover” fixtures sportsbook
World Rugby could not provide any clarity on what these fixtures will be, and admitted that no agreements had yet been put in place, though insisted that there will be a 50 per cent aggregate increase sportsbook
That would mean a rise from 18 to 27 games for the 12 teams, though it is unclear how these fixtures will be allocated or arranged sportsbook
Gilpin said: “I think what we say to the teams – Portugal, Chile, others that have had fantastic tournaments here – is this competition structure from 2026 will provide them with guaranteed certain schedules, particularly against their peers, which is actually the type of teams they need to be playing against, in July and November on an annual basis sportsbook
Portugal upset Fiji to secure their first Rugby World Cup win (Getty Images)“In addition, the package that was agreed today provides for more crossover fixtures for what we used to call tier one and tier two fixtures in the years when this championship isn’t being played than is currently the case sportsbook
So, 50 per cent more guaranteed crossover fixtures in those other years than is currently the case, in addition to guaranteed fixtures against their peers that they don’t currently have sportsbook
“This is about looking at other years – traditionally what we have called ‘Lions years’ and the Rugby World Cup years – and populating those periods with fixtures that allow those possibilities and that the high-performance unions agreeing that some of their Rugby World Cup warm-up matches have to be against those other teams sportsbook
”Bill Sweeney, chief executive of England’s Rugby sportsbook Football Union (RFU), was later unclear on whether England would be open to touring or playing fixtures against emerging nations sportsbook
He did, however, confirm that talks were underway over a fixture sportsbook between a resurrected England ‘A’ and Portugal after a standout tournament for Os Lobos sportsbook
“We’re all interested in growing the game globally,” Sweeney explained sportsbook
“We saw Portugal here and Chile, they were great competitors sportsbook
So we’re fully supportive of that sportsbook
I think there’s a number of factors here that people should feel encouraged about in terms of emerging nations sportsbook
