World Cup 2023: England announce World Cup 2023 Squad: The England Cricket Board (ECB) on Sunday, September 17 announced England's strong 15-men squad for the ODI World Cup 2023, starting next month in India. Star performers - Jason Roy and Jofra Archer - have missed their chances of making it to the England World Cup 2023 squad.



Jason Roy, who was preferred in the provisional squad, missed England all four ODI fixtures against New Zealand due to recurring back spasms. Young Harry Brook replaced Jason Roy in the ODI series, but he too couldn't make the most of the opportunity, losing his wicket under 25 runs in three outings.



Despite his poor show, England have preferred Harry Brook for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India and overlooked the services of experienced Jason Roy.



In another shocking exclusion, ace pacer Jofra Archer ran out of time to prove his match fitness following multiple instances of injuries. The pacer is likely to travel to India only as a traveling reserve.



Senior wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler will spearhead the England side, which saw a return of all-rounder Ben Stokes into the 50-over format. Stokes upon his return stormed into the ODI scene with a stellar 182 off 124 balls - the highest ODI individual score by any England player.



The pace battery comprises of Reece Topley, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes, Sam Curran, and David Willey. The spin department will get the services from Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, and Liam Livingstone.



Dawid Malan topped the run-getters chart during the recently held England vs New Zealand series which helped him cement his place in England's first playing11 in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Malan also plundered his fifth ODI ton in the series.



Meanwhile, England and New Zealand, the finalists of the 2019 ODI World Cup, will kick off the proceedings of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on October 5. 



After concluding the opening fixture, England will play its next three games against Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and South Africa. While New Zealand will lock horns against the Netherlands, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan in its next three fixtures.



Below is England's World Cup 2023 Squad, Complete Player List for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023:

World Cup 2023: England announce World Cup 2023 Squad, Jofra Archer, Jason Roy misses out

world-cup-2023-england-announce-world-cup-2023-squad-jofra-archer-jason-roy-misses-out

Defending champions England have made a big call ahead of the 2023 Cricket World Cup by leaving opening batsman Jason Roy out of their squad. He was a big part of their success four years ago when they lifted the trophy for the first time at Lord?s.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1704782798429520276
</div></figure>



Roy was initially named in Jos Buttler?s squad, but he was unable to play any of England?s warm-up matches for the World Cup due to back spasms. Although he deemed himself fit for the tournament in India, England opted to remove him from the squad and him the opportunity to be on their reserve list.



The 33-year-old has played 116 ODIs for England, scoring 4,271 runs and averaging an impressive 39.91. His top score of 180 was England?s highest innings in ODI cricket until Ben Stokes broke that record against New Zealand at the Oval earlier this year.



Roy ended his incremental contract with the ECB back in May to play in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/65711625">new franchise league in the United States</a>, Major League Cricket. This latest decision by England means he may now have played his final game for his country.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Harry Brook Proved Himself in the New Zealand Series</h2>



The absence of Roy has left space for Brook to feature at the World Cup. The Yorkshire player has been one of England?s most exciting batsmen in all three formats of the game over the last 12 months. He showed his quality at the T20 World Cup in 2022 and during the Ashes against Australia last summer.



Brook has only played five ODIs in his career so far, but he has plenty of white-ball experience. He scored 238 runs during The Hundred in 2023, the third highest in the tournament, including a century, while he has also played IPL cricket in India for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.



One of the reasons England decided to go with Brook over Roy is his versatility to bat anywhere between one and six in the team. He opened the batting for Hyderabad at the 2023 IPL, while he has shown for England, he can come into the crease at the back end of an innings and score some valuable runs quickly.



With Brook now in the squad, as of September 26, England is second best at +300 in?the <a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/cat/cricket">cricket betting for the World Cup</a>. They have only hosts India ahead of them in the outright market.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ben Stokes Comes Out of Retirement</h2>



England Test captain Stokes made a U-turn on his retirement from ODI cricket during the summer to play in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.&nbsp;He will feature in the ODI tournament&nbsp;as a specialist batsman, as his knee injury restricts him from bowling as an all-rounder.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS/status/1701974790083326040
</div></figure>



In his opening series back in the ODI team, Stokes showed his worth in that recording-breaking 182-run innings&nbsp;against the Kiwis. He hit 15 fours and nine sixes, with his runs scoring from just 124 balls.&nbsp;&nbsp;



As well as being a talented batsman, Stokes? experience is going to prove invaluable for the defending champions. He was part of the team which lifted the trophy in 2019 and he has been a key figure in all three England teams since making his debut in 2011. The big-hitting batsman will be doing all he can to help his side overcome the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/icc-team-ranking-updated-after-ind-vs-aus-india-on-top-full-icc-mens-odi-team-standings/" data-type="post" data-id="120068">number one-ranked team in the world</a>, India, and their other rivals in the competition.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Comfortable New Zealand Series Win</h2>



England head to India in good form following&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/sports/cricket/malan-ton-leads-england-series-victory-over-nz-2023-09-15/">their 3-1 series win against New Zealand</a>. After losing the opening game of that four-match series in Cardiff, wins followed at the Rose Bowl, the Oval, and Lord?s. The home team showed exactly why they are one of the leading contenders for the trophy at the World Cup.



Dawid Malan was the leading runscorer in the series against the Kiwis with 277 runs, and he showed that he can open the batting successfully in the team alongside Jonny Bairstow. The highlight for the 35-year-old was his century at Lord?s in the fourth ODI.



Buttler?s side will face India and Bangladesh in warm-up matches, before they feature in the opening game of the Cricket World Cup against New Zealand on October 5. That will be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/2023-cricket-world-cup-schedule/">the first of 48 matches in India</a>.



If England can defend their trophy in this year?s edition of the leading tournament in cricket, they will become the first team to win back-to-back renewals since Australia managed that feat in 2007.

Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah are regarded as two of the most feared fast bowlers in the world of Cricket and both of them have the potential in them to turn around a match in their team's favour with the help of their destructive bowling. 
In the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, Bumrah had bowled in an exceptional manner as he finished the series as the highest wicket taker, managing to dismiss 32 Aussie batters. The Australian skipper on the other hand, troubled the Indian batters with his line and pace and didn't let them play their shots freely. He also ended the five-match Test-Series as the second highest wicket taker just behind Bumrah, managing to pick up 25 wickets. 
Both the bowlers perform equally well in limited overs formats as well and they will be taking part in the forthcoming Champions Trophy 2025 tournament as well. In such a situation, let's take a look at the overall bowling stats of Bumrah and Cummins in One-Day International matches and find out which player is better between the two. 
<h2>Bumrah has picked up more wickets than Cummins</h2>
Team India's elite pacer Jasprit Bumrah has taken part in 89 ODI matches so far while Australian captain Pat Cummins has participated in 90 ODI contests. If we compare the records of the two players after 89 One-Day International games, then Bumrah manages to have the edge, as he has 149 scalps to his name at an amazing average of 23.55, while Cummins on the other hand, had dismissed 143 batters at an average of 28.53 after taking part in 89 games. 
The 31-year-old Indian pacer also has two five-wicket hauls to his name in 89 ODI games which gives him the edge over the Aussie skipper as he has managed to pick up just a single fifer in the same number of matches.
<h3>The economy rate of Bumrah in One-Day Cricket is better than Cummins</h3>
The economy rate of Pat Cummins after 89 One-Day Matches in comparison to Bumrah is very poor. While the former has economy rate of 5.27, the latter's economy rate is just 4.6 in the same number of contests. 
Bumrah's best bowling performance in the 50 over format is 6-19 while Cummins' best figures stand at 5-70. Also, both have them picked up four wicket hauls six times in 89 50 over contests. 
Therefore, by taking all of the mentioned stats and figures in mind, we get to know that India's x Factor, Jasprit Bumrah is a better bowler than Australian captain Pat Cummins in One-Day Cricket.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has arrived in Bengaluru for the scans related to his back injury ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in the Times of India, it is learned that the fast bowler will be monitored closely by the BCCI's medical team. 
Although Jasprit Bumrah has been named in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the reports claimed that his participation in the tournament will depend on the results of the scans that he will be undergoing at NCA. The scans will be taken this week, and they will be massive in the context of the tournament. 
It is learned that Jasprit Bumrah will be there at the NCA for two to three days, and the NCA specialists will be monitoring him closely before sending a report to the selection committee. If the fast bowler is declared fit, then it will be a massive boost for the team, but if he is ruled out, it will be a big blow for the team. 
Jasprit Bumrah hasn't been named in the Indian team for the England ODIs as BCCI mentioned that they will be giving the fast bowler all the time to recover. In his absence, Harshit Rana has been added to the team as cover and will be playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well if Bumrah misses. 
<h2>BCCI will have more than a week to get clarity on Jasprit Bumrah</h2>
The deadline to make changes in the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is 12th February. Hence, BCCI will have more than a week to get clarity on Jasprit Bumrah. The management would be hoping that the results of scans come positive and the pacer plays the tournament. 
Jasprit Bumrah will be missing the first two ODIs of the England series, as mentioned by Ajit Agarkar. If the pacer is to play then he will be returning to the team in the third match. The three-match ODI series between the teams will begin from 6th February in Nagpur. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will kick start from 19th February. India will be opening their campaign in the tournament against Bangladesh on 20th February at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

The India vs. England final T20 game at the iconic Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai witnessed some breathtaking cricket action from Indian rising superstar Abhishek Sharma. The Wankhede Stadium was lit up by the swashbuckling shots the youngster played all around the park. 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhishek_Sharma_(cricketer,_born_2000)">Abhishek Sharma</a> made his intentions quite clear from the very first ball as he took Jofra Archer and Mark Wood for runs when the English pacers steamed in with their high-pace deliveries. This time around, Abhishek looked in full control of his shots and looked like an evolved cricketer. 
Abhishek Sharma, during his stellar innings, created several new records while also threatening several unique records made in the past. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Abhishek Sharma’s records:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Second Fastest T20 Fifty for India</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a0546b5692d.jpg" alt="" width="767" height="477">
Earlier Yuvraj Singh and now Abhishek Sharma: Fastest fifties in T20 for India (Image Credit: X)
Abhishek Sharma scored the second-fastest T20I fifty for India, as he smashed the English bowlers for a 17-ball fifty, which was the second fastest after the former T20 legend Yuvraj Singh, who still holds the record for the world’s fastest T20 hundred in just 12 balls, which also came against the same opposition. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Second Fastest T20 Hundred for India</h3>
After Rohit Sharma’s 35-ball hundred, India remained at the top of the fastest T20 hundreds for long, with David Miller only leveling up with the former Indian great. Rohit Sharma, who had 5 T20I centuries, was surpassed only by Sikandar Raza, who now has the fastest hundred within 33 balls. 
Abhishek Sharma scored a 37-ball hundred, which remained the second-fastest hundred scored by an Indian in T20 international cricket. 
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Highest Individual Score for India in T20s</h3>
Abhishek Sharma surpassed Indian great and fellow teammate Shubman Gill to become the recipient of India’s highest individual score in the shortest format of the game. Abhishek now has 135 runs scored in just 54 balls.
<h3 dir="ltr">4. Fastest T20I hundred against England </h3>
England has never been an easy opposition to bat against, while Abhishek Sharma scored the fastest T20I hundred against the opposition in less than 40 balls, as the player to hold the record before included Aaron Finch, the former Aussie skipper. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Abhishek becomes the first Indian to score a T20I hundred and pick a wicket in a T20I match</h2>

Abhishek Sharma after the hundred in Mumbai (Image Credit: X)
The Indian superstar is a batting all-rounder who often rolls his hand over the ball with his slow, orthodox spin bowling after Abhishek Sharma’s splendid hand with the bat, where he scored a breathtaking hundred for India. 
After this, he immediately took to the ground and later bowled an inning as well; he picked up 2 wickets in the over, giving away just 3 runs. The wickets included Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton.
Abhishek not only became the first Indian player to achieve this unique record but also the only second player in international cricket to have achieved this huge milestone after the veteran T20 all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. 
Glenn Maxwell, in a match against England, scored a hundred (103*) and also picked 3 wickets in the same game; now Abhishek Sharma, with 135 runs and 2 wickets, has been included in the record list as well.
