The first match in the series was abandoned without a balling being bowled. The second match England ended up winning by 48 runs and the third and final match which took place on Sep 26 was a no result as only 31 out of the 50 overs in England\u2019s first innings could be sent down.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K4aBfpy2ZU0?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Will The Lack Of Preparation Hurt England?<\/h2>\n<p>Playing a cricketing minnow like Ireland in English conditions is likely going to do more harm than good to England\u2019s preparation. The conditions in England offer swing and seam whereas the conditions in the sub-continent will offer spin and reverse swing. <\/p>\n<p>England have selected a powerful team that has a nice blend of experience and youth. The experienced players should be able to settle down quicker once the ODI World Cup starts but some of the younger players might struggle and that could seriously impact England\u2019s chances to defend and win back to back ODI World Cup\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/josbuttler\/\">Jos Butler<\/a> will captain England at the 2023 World Cup.
