"We're not talking about 10 [bad] games or 12 games, we're talking about two games where it's fair to say we haven't been at our best. But the good news is the competition is in front of us and we've got these opportunities to come. And if we can be that authentic side of ourselves chests out, taking the game on and being smart there's nothing to stop us."
"It's about playing with personality going forwards. Being authentic to yourself and how you play the game. I think if we do that from one to 11 we'll be in a great position. We had a really good lead-in to the tournament. We've played well as a unit for a good while, so it's just about staying true to yourself as an individual and taking the game on as best you can, in smart ways."
"When we're at our best nobody can live with us."
England's T20 side retains strong self-belief despite nervy performances against Nepal and the West Indies. Players emphasize that recent lapses represent only two subpar matches rather than a pattern. The squad stresses returning to an authentic, chest-out approach: playing with personality, taking the game on, and making smart decisions from one to eleven. Past form, including one loss in 11 T20s, underpins confidence. Leadership frames pressure as opportunity and cites the tournament schedule as a chance to reassert dominance. The immediate focus is a crucial group fixture and converting opportunities into stronger performances.
