England need Root, Buttler and Rashid more than they think ...Middle East

The performances of Jacob Bethell, who scored his first century as a professional, and Jofra Archer, who took 4 for 18 in the 342-run win, took the headlines.

All three will be nearing the end of their careers by then, with Root 36, Buttler 37 and Rashid 39.

As such, ensuring all three remain in England’s XI will not be easy.

They all offered a reminder of their enduring quality in Southampton over the weekend.

Buttler’s explosive unbeaten 62 from 32 balls showed why he is England’s greatest-ever white-ball player, with the former captain’s ability to turbocharge innings inside the final 10 overs making him irreplaceable.

As awful as England have been since the start of the 2023 World Cup in India, Rashid has continued to churn out the wickets, with 48 at an average of 27 in that time.

Buttler, freed up after stepping down from the captaincy after the team’s shocking Champions Trophy in Pakistan this year, should be well-placed to be there.

Root, who might see the 2027 home Ashes as a natural point to end his England career, has been vague about his chances of playing in the World Cup.

And Rashid was even more opaque when asked the same question at the Champions Trophy.

Now we are halfway through the next cycle heading into that tournament, losing any of that trio would be a body blow.

That doesn’t apply to Root, Buttler or Rashid. They are just too good to let go before that next major 50-over tournament. What happened on Sunday reminded us why.
