Back then, ‘Bazball’ was just a twinkle in Brendon McCullum’s eye, Ben Stokes’ knee was in good nick, while Harry Brook was a 20-year-old prospect breaking into Yorkshire’s first team.

T20 cricket, The Hundred, and other white-ball franchise competitions have grown in size and stature since then, leaving one-day cricket as the poor cousin.

In recalibration to 50-over cricket, how much has the format changed since Eoin Morgan’s freewheeling England crashed their way to glory? In the last four years, every nation that qualified for the last two World Cups has played less one-day cricket than it did in the previous cycle.

Since becoming the best in the world, England have played 42 one-day internationals, compared to 88 previously.

In the same four-year period, England’s men have played in two T20 World Cups and three Ashes series, despite Covid-19 dominating the cricket calendar for almost two years.

In the same timeframe, only Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Netherlands have played fewer T20 internationals than England.

There has been a shift in priorities, of course.

There were times when winning the World Cup on home soil was a stated goal, even ahead of Test and T20 cricket.

As a result, Test cricket has regained its status as England’s top priority in recent years.
