What is the strength of England?
England have many great batsmen. If batsmen like Jose Butler, Phil Salat, Harry Brooke, Joe Root and Liam Livingstone perform well, it can be a bad dream for bowlers. Leg spinner Adil Rashid recently performed brilliantly in the ODI series against India. In the Champions Trophy too, slow bowlers are likely to help and their role becomes important.
What is the weakness of England?
Recently, England batsmen were seen struggling in front of spinners against India. England have lost all matches in a three -match series. Apart from Root and Butler, none of his batsmen appeared comfortable in front of the spin bowlers. The England team visited Pakistan some time ago and is well aware of the situation. The brilliant form of root and butler is also a good sign for him. Afghanistan may be a threat to England, which has many good spinners. Not only this, England has the only specialist spinner as Rashid.
