England are still working through several important team-selection questions as they prepare for the World Cup. The main issues concern the make-up of their batting and bowling attacks.
One unresolved area is the opening partnership. England have yet to settle who will take responsibility at the top of the order, leaving the composition of the side open to further consideration.
There is also a question over which spinner will support Adil Rashid. Rashid is identified as part of England’s spin options, but the team must determine who will provide the additional support in that department.
England must also decide which seamers will be selected when Sam Curran returns. His availability is expected to create further competition and could affect the balance of the pace-bowling group.
These decisions underline that England are still learning and refining their team. The choices over the openers, the second spinner and the seamers will need to be resolved as they continue their World Cup preparations.
