England Struggles in India Raise Concerns Ahead of Champions Trophy

England's white-ball cricket team faces mounting challenges, including poor form and structural issues, as they prepare for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

England has lost seven of eight matches on their current India tour, highlighting significant struggles in both batting and bowling performances.
The team has faced difficulties adapting to spin-heavy conditions, with Ravindra Jadeja's bowling posing particular challenges for England's batsmen.
Key structural issues include a lack of domestic 50-over cricket experience for younger players and overworked senior players being siloed into specific formats.
England's ODI form has been in decline since their 2019 World Cup victory, with a win-loss ratio of 0.64 since Eoin Morgan's retirement in 2022.
Despite poor recent performances, England remains focused on the Champions Trophy, with players and management prioritizing the tournament over bilateral series results.
