England and Brendon McCullum have to convert Manchester United after a shocker of a Champions Trophy | start cricket news

Played 11, 10 lost, won one.

The white ball cricket from England men in 2025 is enough to make a fan of Manchester United. The Old Trafford team is not quite fighting to this extent.

The English trainer Brendon McCullum and United counter Ruben Amorim have the same order: Turn back after a time of regression and inertia, a once great team.

Both men seem to have the will and perhaps the ability to do this, but there are questions about structure and resources. There can be no quick solution for McCullum and Amorim.

We leave you the problems of Manchester United with this special piece of pores to concentrate on the problems that McCullum inherited and possibly created and how he can fix it.

Who Captain of England forward?

The New Zealand’s first task is to decide which man – or two men – he wants to put Captain England’s limited -outfit in the foreground.

For the second global 50-over event in a row, England was eliminated before the Knockouts after the 2023 World Cup. You look a shadow of your former all-conquering self.

Harry Brook seems to be the favorite buttler, but McCullum does not exclude the position after “a few weeks to get it back on the right way”. This would help prevent potential burnout for Brook, which is also a test protocol.

Dual Captains could allow someone with a innate knowledge of the 50-over game like Joe Root to bring England to the next world championship in 2027, and Brook to lead the page in T20, a format to which he is much more used to.

Brook played 149 T20s in his career, but only 41 Listen-A (50-over) KEE games. Nowadays this is the type of English domestic cricet, with the one-day trophy descended into a development competition because it collapses in the calendar with a hundred.

McCullum is also considering the possibility of appointing an outsider as a captain, messages that may have led to the ears of Sam Billings, James Vince and Lewis Gregory with each of these men win the titles as a guide in Cricket at home.

This trio might have thought that their international days were over, but they could now be in the race to take over the takeover.

Never boring with bazball, right?

Do you add 50-over experience to the team?

Even if Billings, Vince and Gregory have not handed over the captain, there is an argument that – and possibly lower than Hampshire – Allround Liam Dawson – should be experienced players with knowledge of this format in and around the Odi squad.

It was perhaps no surprise that the two batteries, after centuries in the Champions Trophy – Root and Ben Ducket – to achieve centuries for England, played a game over 200 and 90 and seemed to understand the cadence of an inn.

Those who were bred to T20 – Brook, Phil Salt and Jamie Smith – directed a top score of 25 between them. If you don’t play 50-over cricket, how will you be good in it?

The same applies to the bowlers, many of whom are not used to deliver 10 over in a white ball game, but four overs in a T20 or 20 balls in the hundred.

The calendar will not change, at least in the near future, so England may be served better to give the Odi page a nous and press Buttler -probably your best white ball ever -after he no longer has the order with the captain.

Buttler, who listened to 257 lists, had not deviated from the number 6 in the Champions Trophy, but instead of coming with the platform to end an inner stylish, he often wandered to fold with his side in crisis.

Find variety and balance

Apart from the naming of a new skipper or skipper and the search for the best place for the former captain, McCullum also has to add diversity, whereby a battery of speed bowers at the right-arm speed makes the team equally.

These sailors were toothless and targeted over in the middle. The obsession with speed did not work.

There was no other perspective in the fast department when the left laundry had overlooked Sam Curran and Reece Topley, and nobody seemed to have sent it to call the pace of the ball in the ILK of India Hardik Pandya and in Australia Nathan Ellis.

In addition, in Adil Rashid there was only one spinner before the front, until Rehan Ahmed was appointed late after Brydon Carse injury, with the root and Liam Liam Liam Livingstone asked for support.

Compare that with India, which has the clever left-left-wingurm Ravindra Jadeja, the faster version in Axar Patel, the leg spin of Varun Chakravarthy-a man, who enchanted New Zealand on Sunday with a five-for-Sunday day.

England had a leg spinner – a world class, has to be said – and nothing else.

McCullum is obliged not only to find support for Rashid.

When England defeated New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup final, they had six real bowlers: Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Liam Plunkett – Oh, how to overlook his excellent middle, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes.

They had four in the Champions Trophy. In any case, one too few and maybe two front line -line -Bowler give a Captain Wiggle room if someone should suffer a day.

If you can be remedied to remedy effective bowlers that also contribute to the bat and not extend the tail (a recall to Curran), we can be deleted to McCullum’s plump in dream, as it shows how to end England’s white ball radio.

Will McCullum lose his “magical dust”?

We let his job sound like a hospital pass, but it’s not like that. England has good players who should do it better, even if the schedule makes it difficult for them to improve their 50-over craft.

You clearly need to be admitted to self -confidence from somewhere and McCullum can be the man who makes it available.

With the kiwi, which is now responsible all along the line, there will be an orientation.

England has had a format before a different priority for years.

The white ball cricket for the goal of winning the 2019 World Cup was the disadvantage of the König test team, while the Aschbauer has been in focus since the ashes in 2021/22, since Buttler often does not have its best side. No wonder it is going on.

Now McCullum can try to find out how to bring success in all formats – or let yourself be spread out too thin.

Sky Sports Cricket Michael Atherton said: “I think McCullum has his hands full. I am not quite sure whether I would have combined the (coaching) roles. If things are going badly, he will lose something from this magical dust. He has a real challenge in his hands.”

Similar to Amorim in Old Trafford, McCullum is very aware of what he has left for.
