    England’s squad review for the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup 2026. We analyse England’s explosive batting depth led by Jos Buttler and Phil Salt, their aggressive approach, and the impact of IPL exposure in subcontinent conditions. We also examine concerns around spin depth beyond Adil Rashid, death bowling consistency, and how Harry Brook handles captaincy pressure in a World Cup year. With a favourable group but tactical questions to answer, can England turn attacking intent into tournament success? 01:21 - Strengths 04:12 - Weak spots 07:26 - Opportunities 10:22 - Threats #icct20worldcup2026 #josbuttler #philsalt #adilrashid #englandcricket

  7. West Indies Cricket: The Eventual Decline | Part 2 – The Point of Inflexion (1995–2025)

    West Indies Cricket: The Eventual Decline | Part 2 – The Point of Inflexion (1995–2025)

    West Indies’ decline was not sudden. It was structural, political, and quietly inevitable. Part 2 of this two-part series examines the point of inflexion from 1995 onwards, when dominance faded, governance fractures widened, and cricket slowly stopped binding the Caribbean together. From contractual disputes, player walkouts, and the rise of the freelance cricketer, to statistical decay across formats and repeated failures to qualify for global tournaments, this episode looks beyond scorecards to understand what truly unraveled behind the scenes. #westindiescricket #icc #testcricket #odicricket #t20cricket #cricketgoverningbody #cricketwestindies  00:25 - Intro: The Inflexion Point (1995) 03:09 - Commercialization & Board–Player Breakdown (1995–2004) 15:26 - The Freelance Era Begins (2005–2014) 22:42 - Decline Across Formats (2014–2019) 23:46 - Collapse and Missed World Cups (2020–2025) 29:20 - What Comes Next? 🎧 Listen, Read, Follow: https://ecosystem.cricktake.com/ Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Instagram, TikTok, Substack & Medium.
