"Show key events only Please turn on JavaScript to use this feature England have named their team, which has possibly the shortest tail in English cricket history. There are three changes from the third ODI in New Zealand: Zak Crawley (the very same), Will Jacks and Liam Dawson replace Jamie Smith, Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer. England Crawley, Duckett, Root, Bethell, Brook (c), Buttler (wk), Jacks, S Curran, J Overton, Dawson, Rashid. Share"
"One thing remains the same: if England don't start winning ODIs soon, they will miss out on automatic qualification for the 2027 World Cup. England are currently eighth in the ODI rankings; to qualify automatically, they need to be in the top nine when the music stops in March 2027. If not they will be parachuted into the Cricket World Cup qualifier that summer. England will surely qualify one way or another."
England have named an ODI squad with a notably short tail and three changes from the last New Zealand game: Zak Crawley, Will Jacks and Liam Dawson replace Jamie Smith, Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer. The announced XI lists Crawley, Duckett, Root, Bethell, Brook (c), Buttler (wk), Jacks, S Curran, J Overton, Dawson and Rashid. The series serves as preparation for the T20 World Cup shortly after a disappointing Ashes. England sit eighth in the ODI rankings and must reach the top nine by March 2027 to qualify automatically for the 2027 World Cup. Today's match starts at 9am GMT.
