Pope doesn’t fancy his chances for England’s World Cup squad

Thiruvananthapuram: The newest ‘boy’ in English cricket, 21-year-old Ollie Pope is more or less clear that he does not see himself in the scheme of things when the England team is selected for the upcoming World Cup to be played shortly in his home country.

In an exclusive chat with IANS, Pope, who is part of the visiting England Lions squad who is here in Kerala playing five One-Day Internationals (ODI) and a four-day match against the India A side, said his chances of being in the senior side for the World Cup are very very slim.

“We are currently the first ranked side in ODI. Our team is fairly well set and there are practically very few slots to be filled. Hence my first objective now, after my debut against India last year is the upcoming Ashes,” Pope said. (IANS)
