Ravi Shastri minced no words while describing England's poor show at ODI World Cup 2023.
The former India head coach said that England should be devastated, including spectators and supporters.
'The first match which they lost, 17 overs were left in the game when New Zealand beat them. Against South Africa, they got all out in 20 overs. That game ended early. Then they were all out in 30 overs against Sri Lanka, where SL chased the target and finished the match in 25 overs.'
'Against India, they lost 8 wickets inside 32 overs. You call yourselves World Champions? It means if they aren't sad over their performance, who will?,' said Shastri.
'If someone asks what is the difference between India and England, it is of 8 teams,' he concluded.
Shastri also talked about the fact that how important the last 3 matches are for the Three Lions.
'From here on, England will have to play for pride. The reason I am saying that is because right now they are at the bottom of the points table. And in the Champions Trophy which takes place in 2025, only the top 8 teams of the World Cup can qualify. So if England remain in the bottom two, imagine a team like them not playing an ICC tournament as big as the CT would be a huge blow,' he said.
