Former captain Michael Atherton believes there is no need for a complete reset of the England one-day cricket set-up, despite the holders being knocked out of the World Cup with a whimper. Coming into the tournament as holders of both the ODI and T20 World Cups, England were expected at the very least to reach the last four in India, especially with Ben Stokes having come out of retirement to take part.
What I do think is that over the last couple of years the focus has been so much on T20, for obvious reasons, with two T20 World Cups, the team had just slightly forgotten how long a 50-over game is. 'I think it's closer to Test cricket than T20. I think the rhythm of it is different to T20. I just feel they need to kind of reacquaint themselves with that format, but that's partly the problem of trying to stretch your resources over three different forms.
