Champions Trophy 2025: Five issues facing England after Jos Buttler's resignation
@Source: bbc.com
That takes us to another issue that continues to disadvantage England. They have to find a generation of 50-over cricketers from a pool who are not playing the format.
The Hundred is not going anywhere. England need to find a solution to the problems it has caused rather than just throw their arms into the air.
The main issue is not giving youngsters a taste of 50-over cricket - the One-Day Cup will continue to do that while it is played as a development competition alongside The Hundred - but instead ensuring the talents spotted have enough competitive, challenging cricket to aid their progression afterwards.
This is where the Lions programme will be crucial.
Jacob Bethell, Jordan Cox, Tom Hartley and Carse all played in the Lions' last ODI in February 2023 and have gone on to varying degrees of success on the international stage.
Another solution would be to move the One-Day Cup and give England an advantage over their rivals.
No nation's players are currently playing a good amount of domestic one-day cricket. Were England to find a way, their rebuild could gain a jump start.
