“I think all of us in the English game, from the team itself to the media and fans, have to admit that we have been complacent with this 50-over team. The white-ball schedule, with two T20 World Cups since their 2019 ODI triumph, as well as COVID-19, has seen them take the eye off the ball in 50-over cricket.

“They do not need some kind of reset or grand overhaul, but it is a reality check that just turning up and hoping it will be alright on the night will be exposed,” wrote Vaughan in his column for The Telegraph on Monday.
