Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka blackjack

All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title blackjack

Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches blackjack

In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered blackjack

After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do blackjack

But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup blackjack

England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight blackjack

“I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason blackjack

“You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment blackjack

”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs blackjack

The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going blackjack

England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 blackjack

Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes blackjack

But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak blackjack

Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch blackjack

Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters blackjack

But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 blackjack

Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there blackjack

But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel blackjack

Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally blackjack

Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs blackjack

They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for blackjack

It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line blackjack

There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey blackjack

But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka blackjack

England will have to improve blackjack

They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia blackjack

Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs blackjack

World Rugby has approved plans to set up a new international league competition as part of part of a radical shake-up of the global calendar blackjack

The bi-annual tournament is to be launched in 2026 and will be made up of two divisions of 12 teams, with promotion and relegation commencing from 2030 blackjack

Matches will be staged in the July and November international windows blackjack

In addition to a competition that has been tentatively named the ‘Nations Cup’, World Rugby’s council has given the go-ahead to the expansion of the World Cup to 24 teams in time for Australia 2027 blackjack

The revised format will consist of six pools of four teams and will see the creation of a round of 16 to take place before the quarter-finals blackjack

The top two teams from each group will automatically qualify, as well as the best four third-placed teams blackjack

Even though the number of sides is to be increased, the adjustment means the World Cup can be reduced from seven to six weeks from October 1 to November 13, 2027, while providing the same number of minimum rest days blackjack

The draw for the next competition will take place in January 2026 in the hope of avoiding the lopsided groups seen in France over the last two months blackjack

As part of the changes, the international window for November has been lifted from three to four weekends and the Six Nations will lose one of its fallow weeks blackjack

It has yet to be decided which break week of the Six Nations will be removed but from 2026 the competition will reduced from seven to six weeks to free up an international weekend for the Nations Cup in November blackjack

The top division of the Nations Cup will be run by Six Nations and SANZAR unions while the second division will be overseen by World Rugby blackjack

The competition will culminate in a final blackjack between teams from the northern and southern hemispheres blackjack

World Rugby state that the new competition structure, which enshrines British and Irish Lions tours in their existing format, will also provide an increased number of fixtures blackjack between the game’s heavyweights and emerging nations blackjack

“A new era is about to begin for our sport blackjack

An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all,” World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont said blackjack

“An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries blackjack

All boats will rise together blackjack

”World Rugby’s 51-member council voted on the changes on Tuesday but only just reached the required 75 per cent majority blackjack

“Certain countries will have their own views on matters,” Beaumont said blackjack

“I would like to think that around the room there might have been a few dissenters but on the whole there was a pretty significant vote in favour of these new competitions blackjack

”Criticism of the new format centres around not enough being done for less established nations, especially after the likes of Portugal and Uruguay have surpassed expectations at the World Cup, but World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin sees it as a radical improvement to the status quo blackjack

“Is it perfect? Probably not blackjack

Is it a hell of a lot blackjack better than the current situation? Absolutely,” Gilpin said blackjack
