Significant improvements will be needed if England are to progress out of their group, with their campaign starting with a blockbuster clash with Australia.
Pakistan are hosting the tournament, though India’s matches will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the UAE after they announced they would not travel to Pakistan. The two sides play each other on February 23.
This is the first edition of the Champions Trophy since 2017, when Pakistan lifted the trophy after beating India in the final at the Oval.
