England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.

Ben Stokes banks on spin as England hand Tom Hartley Test debut against India
17:14 , Jack Rathborn
England have gone all in on spin for their first Test in India, handing Tom Hartley a debut alongside Jack Leach and Rehan Ahmed in a major selection gamble.
Clearly expecting more of the lavish turn that saw them blown away on their previous visit in 2021, the tourists have picked all three of their specialist slow bowlers in Hyderabad and will also utilise Joe Root’s off-breaks as an additional option.
With captain Ben Stokes unable to bowl after knee surgery, they have settled on Mark Wood as the solitary pace bowler, meaning record wicket-taker James Anderson sits out.
England spinner Shoaib Bashir belatedly granted visa for India Test series
17:13 , Jack Rathborn
England spinner Shoaib Bashir has been granted a visa and will now join up with the rest of his teammates in India.
Somerset youngster Bashir was forced to miss the first Test of a five-match series after flying home to the United Kingdom to complete paperwork, denying him the chance to make a debut in Hyderabad. He could be back with the Test squad by the weekend and will be available for selection in the second Test, which starts on 2 February.
The 20-year-old, who is of Pakistani heritage, had initially remained in the United Arab Emirates after England’s training camp in the Middle East having not been granted the visa required to travel to India.
