How can England qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy?
In order to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy, England need to win atleast two out of their three remaining games against Australia, Netherlands and Pakistan. However, the two victories won’t be enough to confirm the berth as they would also require many results to go in their favour.
England should pray Netherlands to lose all their three remaining games against Afghanistan, England and India. Bangaldesh should also lose at least two of their remaining games, which are against the likes of Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia.
The roadmap looks complex and difficult but anything is possible in this game of skills. Only time will whether England will be playing the 2025 Champions Trophy or not. For now, they should only focus upon their own matches and try to clinch as many games as possible.
