England are playing really good cricket these days. There was a time when England, the inventors of the Gentleman’s game used to pose serious threat to the oppositions. Ever since the ICC ODI World Cup took off way back in 1975 till 1996 they made it at least to the knock out stages. Things declined a bit when England looked a lacklustre team and used to easily get thrashed by the oppositions. But now they seem to be back on track.

The defending champions (who got the better of New Zealand in the title round by a weird boundary rule after the super over, too, produced a tie result) won the T20 World Cup held in Australia a year back. They became the only team in the process to be crowned ODI and T20 champions simultaneously.
The team has enormous depth. There is a fight between Jason Roy and Harry Brook for the opening slot with skipper Jos Buttler occupying the other slot. The middle order will be amicably filled by Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, star allrounder Ben Stokes (who came out of his ODI retirement), Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali. While Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Reece Topley and David Willey will be taking charge of the bowling attack.

Due to some anonymous reason England always remain beyond the headlines but one will be completely wrong if he/she hold this perception.
