The defending champions England announced a power-packed squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 hosted by the USA and West Indies. One of T20 cricket's brightest stars, Jos Buttler will lead the side and look to improve after their disappointing performances from the ODI World Cup 2023 in India.
The Three Lions are slotted in Group B alongside arch-rivals Australia, Scotland, Oman and Namibia. With around 25 days left for the showpiece T20 event, let us look at how England could line up for the 2024 World Cup.

The right-handed basher has been in the form of his life and scored runs at a blistering rate across multiple tournaments at a consistent clip.
