In the highly anticipated World Cup 2024, England bring forth a formidable lineup of cricketing talent, led by the explosive prowess of Jos Buttler. Renowned for his dynamic batting and exceptional wicketkeeping skills, Buttler’s presence on the field instills both fear and admiration in opponents.
Partnering alongside him is the pace sensation Jofra Archer, whose lightning-fast deliveries and pinpoint accuracy consistently rattle opposing batsmen. Complementing the duo is the versatile all-rounder Ben Stokes.
Whose ability to turn the game’s tide with both bat and ball makes him a vital asset for England’s campaign. Adding to the team’s depth is the crafty spinner Adil Rashid, whose cunning variations often leave batsmen perplexed, while the explosive batting prowess of Liam Livingstone injects additional firepower into the English lineup.
With this ensemble of talent, England enters the World Cup arena as a formidable force, poised to conquer the cricketing world once again. Here are the key players:
Jos Buttler
Jos Buttler has been a key player for England in the T20 World Cup tournaments. Across the various editions, he has consistently performed well, both as a batsman and as a wicketkeeper. Buttler has scored over 700 runs in T20 World Cups with a strike rate above 140, including a memorable century against Sri Lanka in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
His aggressive batting style and leadership have been crucial in England’s successes, including their 2022 T20 World Cup victory under his captaincy.
Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer‘s record in the T20 World Cup is minimal due to recent injuries, limiting his appearances. He has been named in England’s provisional squad for the 2024 tournament in the West Indies and USA, marking his return after last playing a T20 International in March 2023 against Bangladesh.
Archer’s inclusion is highly anticipated, given his crucial role in England’s 2019 World Cup victory and his reputation for exceptional pace and accuracy, which England hopes will strengthen their title defence.
Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes has had a notable record in the T20 World Cup. He played a crucial role in England’s victory in the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup, where he scored an unbeaten 52 runs in the final against Pakistan, guiding his team to a five-wicket win.
However, his T20 World Cup journey also includes a low point in the 2016 final, where he conceded four consecutive sixes in the last over, leading to England’s loss to the West Indies .
Adil Rashid
Adil Rashid has been a pivotal bowler for England in T20 World Cups. His standout performances include a remarkable 4/2 against the West Indies in the 2021 T20 World Cup, and in the 2022 tournament, he maintained an impressive economy rate of 6.53 runs per over.
Rashid played a crucial role in England’s victory in the 2022 T20 World Cup final, where his dismissal of Pakistan’s Babar Azam was a key moment.
Liam Livingstone
Liam Livingstone played a pivotal role in England’s victorious 2022 T20 World Cup campaign, scoring 55 runs and taking 3 wickets across six matches.
Known for his explosive batting, he hit a remarkable 112-meter six in the 2021 T20 World Cup against South Africa and continued to display his power-hitting in 2022, including a notable six onto the roof of the Gabba during a warm-up match .
