Interim head coach Marcus Trescothick has expressed concerns that the current domestic cricket structure is failing to support England's emerging white-ball talent. Following a disappointing series against the West Indies, where England suffered a third consecutive one-day series defeat, Trescothick emphasized the need for more 50-over cricket at the domestic level. In the final match of the series at Kensington Oval in Barbados, England was decisively beaten by eight wickets, marking their 13th loss in 20 ODIs. Trescothick's comments highlight the challenges facing the team as they seek to rebuild and improve their performance in the one-day format.

Liam Livingstone's explosive performance led England to a remarkable victory, leveling the ODI series against the West Indies in Antigua. Chasing a daunting target of 329 runs, England successfully reached 330 for the loss of five wickets, thanks in large part to Livingstone's outstanding innings. After England's defeat in the first match of the series, Livingstone, who captained the team, urged his players to adopt a more strategic approach to their batting. He certainly set the tone, scoring his maiden one-day international century with an impressive 124 not out. His innings showcased a blend of patience and aggression; he took 60 balls to reach his first fifty but accelerated dramatically, scoring his second fifty in just 17 balls. Livingstone's performance was pivotal in securing the win and demonstrating the team's resilience in the face of a challenging target.
