The England attack coach, Richard Wigglesworth, has said entertainment does not come into his thinking when plotting the World Cup campaign. Wigglesworth is full of admiration how Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have cultivated an environment of freedom of expression in England’s Test cricket side, but when it comes to Steve Borthwick’s squad a premium will be placed on results.
Borthwick succeeded Eddie Jones nine months before England begin their World Cup campaign and after a disappointing Six Nations campaign with two victories Wigglesworth has prioritised winning with four warmup matches this summer.
