England beat New Zealand at Lord’s to win the 2019 edition.
Jonny Bairstow is confident England’s 2019 World Cup winners will have no problems getting the band back together ahead of next month’s title defence in India.
England’s big guns are reuniting too, with Ben Stokes’ retirement U-turn meaning nine of the World Cup-winning squad are involved.In 36 matches since the World Cup win, Stokes has played just 10, Chris Woakes 13 and Joe Root 15, but the spine of the side is going nowhere for the next couple of months.
“When the group has played together for seven or eight years, something like that, it’s one of those where you just fit back in and slot back into your roles. We’ll rock up to Cardiff and see all the lads. It’ll be just like normal.”
