England will head into the T20 World Cup 2024 without star all-rounder Ben Stokes, who is recovering from knee surgery. However, experts believe their batting unit remains a force to be reckoned with.
Led by the explosive Jos Buttler, England boasts a lineup brimming with big-hitters. Buttler himself is a match-winner, capable of turning the tide with his blistering strike rate of 145.10. Phil Salt, fresh off a successful IPL season with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), adds firepower at the top of the order. Youngster Will Jacks provides further depth and power-hitting potential.
While Stokes’ absence weakens their bowling attack, England still possesses a wily spin weapon in Adil Rashid. The experienced leg-spinner boasts 108 wickets at a miserly economy rate of 7.8, making him a crucial wicket-taking threat.
This blend of youth and experience, coupled with their experience as defending champions, makes England one of the tournament favourites. Skipper Buttler will lead the charge as they aim to retain their title. Their journey begins on June 4, when they face Scotland in their opening match.
