England were comprehensively beaten by India on Wednesday, and opening batter Ben Duckett suffered an injury that leaves him as a doubt for the Champions Trophy.
As the last rites of a 142-run thrashing were being administered to gladiatorial roars from a 60,000 crowd, former India coach Ravi Shastri said he’d heard ‘England have had just one net session this entire trip, if not any.
Only twice previously had England chased down bigger totals but despite Ben Duckett’s inability to run between the wickets due to injury, a boundary-laden start provided a great start, propelling them to 84 - the biggest power play of the series.
Former India coach Ravi Shastri (pictured) claimed England hardly trained in between matches.
Jos Buttler rubbished claims a lack of professionalism was to blame for England’s one-day whitewashing by India, insisting his team are not ‘lazy’.
