England head into the defence of their World Cup title short of ODI practice but unconcerned as they will approach the 50-overs format in the same way they have tests and T20s - with total commitment to attack and confidence in success.
While there might be tactical tweaks, and the presence of a "rock" in the shape of Dawid Malan gives a semblance of stability, "Bazball" will still be in the air and captain Jos Buttler and coach Matthew Mott will give the team absolute licence to attack.
Stokes warmed up with an England record 182 off 124 balls in a thrashing of New Zealand last month and has the ability to take command of a game from any situation. "It’s satisfying from my point of view to be able to silence some people who always have some negative things to say, but my job is to score runs," Malan said.
The stop-start nature of international cricket and the shunting aside of the 50-over format means the England team are far from a settled unit in the format."I don’t think that’s too much of a worry when the group has played together for, what, seven or eight years?" he said. "It’s one of those where you just slot back into your roles."
