Jos Buttler's England are one of the strongest teams in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. They have been playing attacking cricket for a long time now and will try to continue that in this World Cup in India as well. The batting line-up features attacking Jonny Bairstow and defensive Dawid Malan, while Joe Root provides an ample amount of experience at number three with youngster Harry Brook to follow.

Brook was not part of the England Squad initially but eventually got the ticket after Jason Roy was declared unfit. Stokes also came back from retirement just a month before the ODI World Cup and is in fine touch. He also provides some bowling options. The bowling department is guided by quick Mark Wood and experienced Chris Woakes with David Willey and Reece Topley in supporting roles. All-rounders Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone have the quality to change the game single-handedly.
