The defending champions England are struggling to secure their second win in the ICC World Cup 2023 under Jos Buttler's captaincy. The team is currently going through a rough phase with just one win in the tournament, Reece Topley was ruled out of the ICC World Cup 2023 due to a finger injury and has not being able to deliver performances consistently.
