Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh voiced his disappointment following England’s dismal outing so far in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup. The former off-spinner’s comments came after England’s humiliating eight-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 26.
“Jos Buttler has never looked so clueless. Ben Stokes was asked to come out of retirement ahead of the World Cup but got injured. He has failed to make a significant impact in the matches he has played,” Harbhajan Singh said in a YouTube video.
“England loved to chase in white-ball cricket and had batters who only dealt in fours and sixes. However, forget about boundaries; they aren’t even sure of how to take singles. It seems as if they have forgotten how to play this format. They haven’t looked like world champions,” the 43-year-old added.
“England’s next match is against India. I don’t think they are capable of beating India, and they will have to deal with yet another loss. I feel it might be a spin-friendly surface, and we could see India play three spinners,” the former cricketer concluded.
