According to reports buzzing around many known names in English side will be axed in order to give younger http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Hendrik-Wessels-c75170 a chance.
ECB is determined to develop England into a good ODI side for the 2015 World Cup and it is for the very reason players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Clayton-Anderson-c65552 may be chopped off.
The 35-year-old Collingwood has shown his desire to keep on playing but is worried about what the future might hold for the all-rounder.
The all-rounder said, “When you get older there's a lot more pressure. People start looking at your age. You have to be fitter than you've ever been because you can't give them an excuse to ignore you.”
The former English T20 captain clarified, “I feel fit, I feel sharp, and all the desire is there, so I just need to score the runs that demand attention.”
The Lankans are a far better side when it comes to one-dayers and will be looking to avenge the defeat that they suffered at the hands of Poms in Tests.
The English on the other hand, will have a new squad and they will also be under the leadership of a new captain, Alastair Cook, after their former leader, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, stepped down from his post.
This will be Cook’s first turn as England’s captain and he will be looking to start his captaincy reign on a winning note.
Certain individuals have shown promise in the English county season and they may get a call to play for England.
Steve Davies and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/C-Kieswetter-c1206 may replace Matt Prior as the wicket-keeper in the side. Davies had played well in the past when he was the wicket-keeper and Kieswetter’s is also very handy with the bat.
The rise of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s bowling options. And with the declining performance of Anderson in ODIs, the likes of Jade Dernbach and Chris Woakes would be anticipating a recall.
