T20 World Cup: England odds, fixtures, key players, T20 World Cup record

Winners of the 2022 T20 World Cup, England look to put last year's ODI World Cup disappointment behind them when they head to the West Indies and USA this summer to defend their title.

Only two years ago, England laid down a marker in white-ball cricket by winning their second T20 World Cup, beating rivals and tournament hosts Australia on their own patch in the final.

However, a dire ODI World Cup last year has tempered the enthusiasm around England's white-ball side and has put pressure on coach Matthew Mott, who knows his side cannot afford another underwhelming tournament performance.

It is fair to say the ingredients are there for England to excel at this summer's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, but it remains to be seen if their big-hitters can click into gear and make the most of a favourable draw.

England captain

Jos Buttler

No player has scored more runs for England in T20 internationals than skipper Jos Buttler, who has struck 2927 runs in 105 innings in the shortest format.

Buttler's future as England's white-ball captain came under scrutiny following last year's poor showing at the ODI World Cup, but he remains in charge and embodies England's attacking philosophy.

England key players

Sam Curran

Known for his ability to put runs on the board quickly, all-rounder Sam Curran was crucial to England's T20 World Cup success in 2022 and could again play a key role.

Curran was named player of the tournament two years ago, having taken 13 wickets in only six innings for the champions.

Moeen Ali

Part of the teams which finished runners-up in 2016 and won the tournament two years ago, the experience of England vice-captain Moeen Ali could be crucial this summer.

Moeen is still a regular in the Indian Premier League with Chennai Super Kings and has scored 6,313 runs and taken 214 wickets in T20s.

Jofra Archer

Sussex paceman Jofra Archer has not played for England since their tour of Bangladesh in March 2023, but has recovered from a right elbow injury and is ready to feature.

His lack of playing time will of course be a concern, but he is an explosive fast bowler with 169 T20 wickets to his name and he can be a game-changer.

England one to watch

Will Jacks

One of only two players included in England's squad who has not featured at an ICC World tournament, Will Jacks heads into the T20 World Cup in fine form.

The Surrey all-rounder blasted a 41-ball century in the IPL back in April and continues to impress for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, so he could be a secret weapon for England at the crease, while he also bowls more than useful off-spin.

England's T20 World Cup prospects

Unfortunately for England, all the talk coming into this T20 World Cup will likely not be about their triumph in 2022, but rather their dire performance at the ODI World Cup last year.

However, they do have a decent opportunity to put that behind them.

From Jos Buttler to Will Jacks, England have plenty of big-hitters who have been impressing in franchise competitions such as the IPL and the draw has been kind to them, with their predetermined seeding meaning they will likely avoid Australia, India and New Zealand in the Super 8s.
