England Slip Further in WTC Race
England’s campaign continues to unravel in the longer format. Despite flashes of individual brilliance, they sit 7th in the WTC standings with a PCT of just 31.67. Six losses from ten matches leave Ben Stokes’ side with little margin for recovery in this cycle.
The Ashes defeat has raised fresh questions around England’s red-ball balance as results fail to match intent.
India, Pakistan and the Mid-Table Battle
