England enters the World Cup growing in confidence, following a solid performance in the tri-series tournament in Australia.

In addition to England, Group A includes Afghanistan, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Scotland. Eoin Morgan will be the team’s captain.

Captain Morgan and Ravi Bopara will both be integral to the team’s success.

“Ravi’s one of our senior players and a guy who we’ve identified as a match-winner,” said Morgan. “He’ll be a big part of our success over the next couple of months.”

“It’s gone pretty well. I think we’ve developed a lot the last few months, throughout the Sri Lanka series and now under Eoin Morgan’s captaincy in Australia,” said wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. “I think we can be pleased in the direction we’re going. We seem to have a settled side for Australian conditions and a couple of wins against a strong India side can give us a lot of confidence going into the World Cup.”
