Best opportunity for England to win World Cup: Michael Vaughan

Best opportunity for England to win World Cup: Michael Vaughan

London: Former skipper Michael Vaughan believes the Eoin Morgan-led side has the best opportunity England have had in years to win the World Cup.

After thrashing Pakistan 4-0 in the five-match ODI series, England on Tuesday named their 15-man squad for the showpiece event which starts on home soil next Thursday when they take on South Africa.

England are being touted by many as favourites to lift the World Cup trophy and Vaughan believes the current ODI side has the “best opportunity in my life time”.

"This England squad is the best I’ve seen. They have earned the right to be favourites,” BBC quoted Vaughan as saying.

“It’s the best opportunity in my time for England – I remember 1992 as a youngster, watching that final at college,” he added.

England reached the final in 1979, 1987 and 1992 but went out in the group stages four years ago. Their biggest global trophy to date is the ICC World T20 in 2010.

The former England skipper further advised Morgan and his troops to play smart cricket in the showpiece event. (IANS)
