England preparing strongly to be favourites for World Cup 2027Under the leadership of Harry Brook and head coach Brendon McCullum, England are on the road to becoming a top contender to lift the silverware during the World Cup 2027. Although they have a strong bowling attack and fiery batting lineup, they tend to lose the tempo of the game while building the innings in the middle overs. However, an assignment like the Tri-Series in Pakistan will be a good opportunity for the Three Lions to address their weaknesses.Nevertheless, England will open their campaign in the upcoming Tri-Series against Pakistan on October 20 at Rawalpindi, before facing Sri Lanka at the same venue two days later. As the caravan moves to Lahore for the second phase, they will first face the hosts on October 25 and then Sri Lanka on October 29. The final will be played two years later at the Gaddafi Stadium.
