Assistant coach Marcus Trescothick says England are \u201cfeeling the heat\u201d of their World Cup implosion.<\/p>\n

England arrived in India as defending champions but are on course to leave with their tail between their legs after losing four of their first five games.<\/p>\n

The all-conquering hosts are next up in Lucknow on Sunday \u2013 on paper their toughest assignment of all \u2013 and another loss would represent England\u2019s worst-ever sequence at the tournament.<\/p>\n

The question marks are piling up with every disappointing result, with team selection, tactics and the England and Wales Cricket Board\u2019s structural commitment to the 50-over game all under scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Captain Jos Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott have both been forced to defend their positions and Trescothick made it clear the situation was taking its toll.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve just not been matching up to the levels we expect and of course it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

It’s challenging for everyone. We were desperate to come here and try and win back-to-back 50-over competitions<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all feeling it. We\u2019re all feeling the heat. It\u2019s challenging for everyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut what can you do? We prepared the same. Every practice we go through, we\u2019re coming out the other side thinking we\u2019re in a good place and feeling quite right.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s just not quite worked when we\u2019ve gone into the games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drop off in performance from a side who became the most feared white-ball side in the world on their way to the 2019 title has been so stark, there have been suggestions about England\u2019s motivation to climb the mountain once more.<\/p>\n

Asked if England had simply lost interest in the 50-over format, sidetracked by T20 and the \u2018Bazball\u2019 revolution in the Test arena, Trescothick resisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cForgive me, I don\u2019t want to be blunt here, but we haven\u2019t lost faith in what it is,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t really say too much more. We love playing any form of cricket, any form of the game that we play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were desperate to come here and try and win back-to-back 50-over competitions. So, we\u2019re still very much focused on all formats of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lining up against India at their home can be a daunting experience at the best of times and doing so while devoid of confidence and form only makes matters worse.<\/p>\n

Rohit Sharma\u2019s side bring a 100 per cent record into the match and are likely to be aided by a highly partisan crowd and, if local reports on the ground are to be believed, a helpful turning pitch.<\/p>\n

But Trescothick hopes to see England thrive under adversity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think playing against India in a World Cup in their own country is a special part of the game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know there\u2019ll be a big crowd and there\u2019ll be a wonderful occasion. The atmosphere is going to be electric.\u201d<\/p>\n

England will surely consider bringing Harry Brook back into their under-performing batting line-up after surprisingly dropping him last time out, while Gus Atkinson, Sam Curran and the recently-arrived Brydon Carse all stand by to help refresh the bowling stocks.<\/p>\n

There will be some temptation to play all three in an overt act of adding a more youthful sheen to an ageing outfit, but England may exert more restraint given the size of the task ahead against the likes of Rohit and Virat Kohli.<\/p>\n
