Before the International Criminal Court Champions Cup – live on Sky Sports from February 19 to March 9 – we look at the sides in Group B: England, Australia, South Africa and Afghanistan.
England
By Adam Williams
The best result: Second place (2004, 2013)
2017 result: The semi -finals
The main coach: Brendon McCallum
a team: Jose Bater (Captain), Jofra Artcher, Jose Atkinson, Tom Panton, Harry Brook, Prideon Cars, Ben Dukit, Jimmy Opton, Jimmy Smith, Liam Livingstone, Adel Rashid, Joe Root, Sakb Mahmoud, Phil Sulting, Mark Wood.
Captain England, Jose Bater, chaired a 3-0 defeat in India before the Champions Cup
Football player to watch
Adel Rashid. Furlong is likely to be the final of the leading white football roundabout in England from his generation as he puts the possibility of playing a pivotal role in turning stadiums in Pakistan.
It can be said that the first name in the Teamsheet Group, Rashid will be keen to add another medal to the International Criminal Court winners to his group after playing major roles in the ODI 2019 and 2022 T20 World Cup.
Adel Rashid from England can be the key to his team’s hopes in the Champions Cup
The mixture to watch
Harry Brook. On his last trip to Pakistan in the colors of England, Yorkshirman delivered the three hundred tests. Unfortunately, England will not return to Malatan this time, but Brock will be keen to continue his excellent record in the country. He will hope to pass through the gears and the highest operating rate when necessary.
Horizons
We hope it is a better return than their last experience in the ICC 50 competition in the Indian subcontinent: the 2023 World Cup in India.
England’s defense of this title was much lower than expectations and included a humiliating mass defeat against Afghanistan, who would face the political controversy between difficult tests against Australia and South Africa.

Richard Gold believes that England intersects its ICC Cup match against Afghanistan will be “opposite results”
Being at the recipient of a clean scanning series in India in accumulation, where the lack of cohesion and a clear and clear plan would not do much to raise expectations. However, as it was always with Bazballl, expect what is unexpected.

Australia
Written by David Ross
The best result: Winners (2006, 2009)
2017 result: I went out in the group stage
The main coach: Andrew McDonald
a team: Steve Smith (Captain), Sean Abbott, Alex Carrey, Ben Dawarshis, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser Morkork, Aaron Hardy, Travis Heid, Josh Ingelis, Spencer Johnson, Marinus Labushhani, Gilin Maxwell, Tanvir Sanga, Matthew Zamba. Travel reserves: Cooper Honoli.
Australian Adam Zamba will bear a lot of burden on the bowling attack with Bat Kamins, Mitchell Stark and Josh Hazliowood
Football player to watch
Legs Adam Zamba. One) because it is good and two) because the wonderful seams are Kamins (the injured), Josh Hazliwood (the injured) and Mitchell Stark (personal reasons), depriving a complete pace team that won the 2023 World Cup.
Zampa has won 23 share of that tournament and you may need to be prolific again with the talent of seam options in Australia – Nathan Ellis, for one, has a lot of tricks – but the inexperienced in ODIS.
The mixture to watch
Travis Heid scored hundreds of the match in the World Cup final against India, and Australia will search for it to become large at the top of the request, however Steve Smith The glue that collects everything should be together.
Steve Smith will be Australia in the middle ranking
Smith returned to Peak Form in Test Cricket after a meager talisman, and peeled four tons in five games, while he also smoked a large bash ton of Sydney Cedars. Various formats, definitely, but it should say its chapter again.
Horizons
Australia is very good in winning world championships, but these championships may be an extension with many great absences, including Cameron Green (the injured), Mitchell Marsh (the injured) and Marcus Stanis (retired).
The last convincing defeats of the Sri Lanka team, which was not eligible for the Champions Cup, will not create confidence. He is still with Smith, Hed and Zampa around him, not to mention Gilin Maxwell – destroyed with bats, capable of ball, amazing in the field – it will be stupid to write off.

In exchange for Afghanistan (Friday, February 28)
Afghanistan
By Adam Williams
The best result: The championship for the first time
2017 result: us
The main coach: Jonathan Troot
a team: Hashemat Allah is a martyr (leader), Ibrahim Zadran, the Most Gracious, God, Gorbaz, Sadqa, Atal, Mercy Shah, Ikram Aljoel, Gulpaden Nayb, God’s determination. Reserves: Darwish Rasouli, Bilal Sami.
Football player to watch
Rashid Khan. For a person who has already gathered a lot in his international profession and consistent in the T20 concession, it is amazing to see that the legs remain only 26.
Rashid Khan in Afghanistan is not just a threat to the ball
A talisman leader with the ball, who will take over a more prominent role in the absence of his teammate, Majeed Al -Rahman, who was deleted from this team. You can take the new ball as well as playing a role later in roles, as he has a talent from contributing to Quickfire manages the demand with bats.
The mixture to watch
SEDIQULAH Atal. The opening of the Leese in Rise, which recently appeared with Mi Cape Town in SA20.
A ton of one and a half century contributed to the ODI series over Zimbabwe in December to reserve its place in this team. The beating is scheduled to open alongside Ibrahim Zadran, who returned from an ankle injury late last year.
Horizons
More than one capable of appearing a surprise (or two!) They have an external opportunity to reach the semi -finals, as they did in the T20 World Cup last year in the West Indies.
Afghanistan reached the semi -finals of the T20 World Cup last year
Pakistan’s legend Younis Khan has been appointed as a teacher and can provide some invaluable vision around the conditions and game management of a side that can leave good chances often due to one time errors or lapses in focus.
We will hope not to be at the recipient of the MAXWell Masterclass explorer when they face Australia after it has previously achieved an amazing one of 128 balls a stunning victory over the group stage in the 2023 World Cup.

South Africa
Written by David Ross
The best result: Winners (1998)
2017 result: I went out in the group stage
The main coach: Rob Walter
a team: Timba Pavoma (Captain), Corbin Bush, Tony de Zorusi, Marco Yansen, Heinrich Classen, Kishaf Mehraj, Eden Markram, David Miller, Yan Molder, Rang Najidi, Kagiso Rabada, Richelon, Champose tab. Travel reserves: KWENA MAPHAKA.
Kagiso Rabada from South Africa is part of the well -rounded bowling attack
Football player to watch
South Africa has a balanced attack with each base, apparently covered, but Kagiso Rabada He is the leader of the PACE unit, which includes 162 share via 103 ODIS so far.
Rabada is new to perform four deaths in the SA20 final for Mi Cape Town, when he got better than Proteas Pal Marco Jansen, who was playing with Sunrisers Eastern Cape.
However, Jansen ended that championship as a great captain of the Wikit with 19 victims in 13 games, and the left-wing seam of a high height can cause opponents of problems in the Champions Cup-and so on, also, the minimum average is hit.
The mixture to watch
Heinrich Klaasen. If Clasen and Jansen is compatible with the bats over the next few weeks, look! These two balls in secret with Clasen scored half centuries in each of the last four ODIS, including 87 out of 56 balls against Pakistan in Karachi last week, roles that included 11 four and three sixty.
Heinrich Classen of South Africa is a strong force in the Middle South African system
He also achieved fifty degrees in or more ODIS against England, the last of which was in October 2023 when he occupied 109 out of 67 balls in the World Cup group winning in Mumbai. The Commander of England Potler made a strange decision to pass through the heat, and the hot Klaasen was spent.
Horizons
Despite a lot of fireworks, the last round of South Africa in the ODI cricket was terrible. Six defeats for trot and 16 losses on 25 since it reached the semi -finals of the World Cup in 2023.
Warning is that Prosease has not been able to provide full strength aspects due to other cricket obligations.
Their team is stacked again now, and given that they are playing the depleted Australia, England outside, and South Africa, it will be expected to reach the Afghanistan team in the semi -finals of the T20 World Cup last year four here.
