TIL Desk Sports/ South African pace legend Allan Donald has backed No.1-ranked hosts England to go the distance in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
“If ever they have a chance to win one, it’s definitely now,” Donald said on Wednesday, on the sidelines of an event to mark a year before the start of CWC 2019. Hailing the “aggressive” brand of cricket played under Eoin Morgan, he said they would be formidable in home conditions.
“The way they take on one-day internationals now it’s a different England from the one I’ve seen. I’ll be honest, given what I faced back in the day, I wouldn’t have thought they could get to this point. But there’s something about them that I like,” he said.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales starts on May 30 with England taking on South Africa at The Oval.
