Despite England never having won a global 50-over tournament, head coach Trevor Bayliss still believes an Ashes win next summer would trump a World Cup triumph.
England will be hosting both match-ups in the same year for the first time since 1975 and have high expectations of emerging victorious from both assignments. Should they defeat Australia in the second half of the summer, it would be Bayliss’ second Ashes win as coach following the victory in the home series in 2015. Set against that is last winter’s 4-1 defeat in Australia and if England are to reclaim the Ashes – and, indeed, win the World Cup – their players are going to have to deal with a huge amount of pressure.
