England Squad for World Cup 2019- Team Overview
Eoin Morgan to lead the England squad for World Cup 2019.
Team Update: Jofra Archer, Liam Dawson and James Vince added in the squad as a replacement for David Willey, Joe Denly and Alex Hales.
The most consistent ODI team in the past two years and perhaps, the most balanced team as compared to others, England are all set for World Cup 2019.
One major factor contributing to their outstanding run is the performance of their all-rounders. When teams are on a hunt for one good all-rounder, England have them in abundance.
Will the top order come good consistently? Can they capitalize on the home team advantage? Is the ‘cup’ finally coming home?
Let’s look at how England squad is placed for World Cup 2019.

We wish the very best for the English to bring the cup home.
