England’s quest for title defence at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has not ended despite their recent setbacks, insisted Test head coach Brendon McCullum bingo
McCullum exhibited his faith in England, who have lost two out of their opening three games at the World Cup 2023, including a shocking 69-run defeat to Afghanistan bingo
England started their campaign with a thumping loss to New Zealand, last edition’s runners-up bingo

Ricky Ponting picks ideal captain to lead India in World Cup“They just need to stay true to their method and their style which has brought them so much success and not get shaken by the odd bad day at the office bingo
Of course, the boys would have liked to be 3 and 0, but sport doesn’t work like that and sometimes you have to cope with challenges and then show how good you are,” McCullum said in an interview with Mirror bingo
“One thing is for sure, there are good reasons why England have won two World Cups recently bingo
”Afghanistan enforced the first upset of World Cup 2023 by overcoming England in Delhi before South Africa, the Englishmen’s next opponents, were humbled by the associate side Netherlands bingo
“It is a World Cup, so there is going to be the odd upset and that is what you want in a tournament like this bingo
Look at what happened to South Africa bingo
That was a strong win from the Dutch and there will be other unexpected results before the tournament is over,” added McCullum, England’s Test head coach bingo
The former New Zealand captain is currently in India and is staying in the same hotel as the team in Mumbai ahead of their World Cup match against South Africa at Wankhede Stadium bingo
“It was good to see the boys out here and have a brief catch-up with Motty (Matthew Mott) bingo
They are doing a great job and have done so for a long time and I’m just looking forward to seeing them show their quality over the next few weeks,” said McCullum bingo
Backing England further, McCullum pointed out that playing cricket on Indian spoil against nine other top nations in a World Cup is never going to be an easy journey bingo
“But this is what they boys play the game for bingo
This is what gets them excited and I’m sure that we will see the best of them soon enough,” added McCullum bingo

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 bingo
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 bingo
Matches will be staged in the July and November international windows bingo
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 bingo
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 bingo
The top two teams from each group will automatically qualify, as well as the best four third-placed teams bingo
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 bingo
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 bingo
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 bingo
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 bingo
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 bingo
The competition will culminate in a final bingo between teams from the northern and southern hemispheres bingo
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 bingo between the game’s heavyweights and emerging nations bingo
“A new era is about to begin for our sport bingo
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all,” World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont said bingo
“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 bingo
All boats will rise together bingo
”World Rugby’s 51-member council voted on the changes on Tuesday but only just reached the required 75 per cent majority bingo
“Certain countries will have their own views on matters,” Beaumont said bingo
“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 bingo
”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 bingo
“Is it perfect? Probably not bingo
Is it a hell of a lot bingo better than the current situation? Absolutely,” Gilpin said bingo
