• Jos Buttler could only look on from behind the stumps as England’s World Cup dreams lay in tatters around him on the turf in Bengaluru following his side’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka blackjack
  
  All the fighting talk, all the tinkering and changes, the whispers before the tournament of defending the title blackjack
  
  Any lingering hope of qualification became all but mathematically impossible after England slid to their fourth defeat from their opening five matches blackjack
  
  In the future, this may become a World Cup to be forgotten – as was the case in 2015, which led to the famous “white-ball reset” and four years later the title – but, in the immediate aftermath, there are questions to be answered blackjack
  
  After the record-breaking defeat at the hands of the Proteas, both Buttler and head coach Matthew Mott spoke passionately, explaining that the side knew what they had to do – win every group game – and that’s what they intended to do blackjack
  
  But against Sri Lanka, in a match many expected would see the team regain some of their lost pride, it became yet another performance to forget from this World Cup blackjack
  
  England were left dejected after defeat to Sri Lanka (Reuters)Reflecting on the defeat in the immediate aftermath, even Buttler could not pinpoint what exactly has happened this tournament, saying: “You don’t become a bad player overnight, you don’t become a bad team overnight blackjack
  
  “I think that’s been the biggest frustration, that we’ve fallen so far short of the standards that we set ourselves and for no particular reason blackjack
  
  “You must think there should be something obvious but I can’t put my finger on it at the moment blackjack
  
  ”While the loss to South Africa can be pinned on the decision to field first, against Sri Lanka, when they chose to bat first, England simply did not score enough runs blackjack
  
  The total of 156 was never going to be defendable, let alone against a side who had scored almost 350 in a losing cause against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, and England never got going blackjack
  
  England’s confusing selection had continued when they dropped rising star Harry Brook, leaving them a side where every player was over 30 blackjack
  
  Having made three changes for the previous game, Buttler and Mott made three again, returning to packing the side with all-rounders in Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone and Chris Woakes blackjack
  
  But they batted every bit like a side long past their peak blackjack
  
  Ben Stokes, as he so often does, offered a brief resistance with bat in hand, top-scoring with 43, but it was not enough, and their meagre total was never likely to be enough to be in contention on the fast-scoring pitch blackjack
  
  Adil Rashid’s calamitous run out was symptomatic of England’s problems (Reuters)On the face of it, Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Stokes and Joe Root are up there with some of England’s greatest-ever white ball batters blackjack
  
  But none of them have been able to find the form that guided the team to the trophy in 2019 blackjack
  
  Ali spoke ahead of the match about playing with freedom and laying it all out there blackjack
  
  But all that was left at the end of the England innings were the hilarity of a lazy run out that brought the end of Adil Rashid’s innings, several badly timed shots and poor decision-making that will make for a glum highlights reel blackjack
  
  Sri Lanka, to their credit, bowled exceptionally blackjack
  
  Lahiru Kumara was especially problematic as he claimed three wickets for 35 runs blackjack
  
  They kept the pressure on England and did not relent, before following it up with a batting innings that was just what the situation called for blackjack
  
  It was not risk-taking, but the bad balls were dispatched as Pathum Nissanka and Sadeera Samarawickrama scored 77 and 65 respectively to see their side over the line blackjack
  
  There was nowhere to hide on the field for England, and no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag them back into it – barring two early wickets from David Willey blackjack
  
  But from then it was just too easy for Sri Lanka blackjack
  
  England will have to improve blackjack
  
  They cannot just meekly fade away into the background, least of all because they have two big games to come against India and Australia blackjack
  
  Another humiliation must be avoided at all costs blackjack

  England players have only four more international games in which to impress Gareth Southgate before the manager names his squad for Euro 2024 blackjack
  
  Southgate’s team qualified for the tournament, which will be hosted by Germany next summer, with a stylish 3-1 win over reigning champions Italy at Wembley Stadium, the venue for that agonising shootout defeat by the Azzurri in 2021 blackjack
  
  Now England can look ahead to the Euros, with two final qualifiers against Group C minnows Malta and North Macedonia to come in November, before two friendlies at Wembley in the spring blackjack
  
  Competition for places is fierce, made even more so by Uefa’s announcement that squads will return to containing 23 players, after 26 had been allowed for the Covid-affected Euro 2020 and at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar blackjack
  
  Here is a closer look at who is heading to Germany and who might miss out blackjack
  
  On the planeHarry KaneEngland’s captain remains their talisman on the pitch, both with his leadership and with his goals as he continues to add to his record tally blackjack
  
  Kane has hit the ground running at Bayern Munich, and the 30-year-old has talked up the virtues of the Bundesliga’s winter break and playing one fewer domestic cup competition blackjack
  
  Southgate will hope Kane is fit and fresh when the Euros come around blackjack
  
  Jude BellinghamThe 20-year-old has quickly elevated himself to be one of England’s essential players blackjack
  
  He is consistently producing outstanding performances both for his country and his new club, Real Madrid, racking up goals and assists after driving runs from midfield blackjack
  
  Southgate likes Bellingham as a No 10 off Kane, and this could be the start of a fruitful partnership blackjack between England’s current captain and his likely successor blackjack
  
  Jude Bellingham has become one of England’s key players (The FA via Getty Images)Declan RiceRice has made a good start to life at Arsenal, and his importance at international level has grown immeasurably over the past few years to the point where he is crucial to how England play blackjack
  
  John StonesThe Manchester City defender has been a stalwart for Southgate over the years, integral to deep runs at the 2018 World Cup and the last Euros blackjack
  
  Only Kane and Harry Maguire have won more than Stones’ 56 caps since the manager took charge in 2016, and the lack of centre-back alternatives only strengthens his position in the squad blackjack
  
  Kyle WalkerExperience, recovery pace and ability to play on the right of a back three all make the Manchester City defender an essential part of Southgate’s plans blackjack
  
  Jordan PickfordThe Everton goalkeeper has been England’s No 1 for a long time and that position looks safe, particularly given the challenge Aaron Ramsdale now faces to keep his Arsenal place against competition from new arrival David Raya blackjack
  
  Bukayo SakaSaka is a popular and trusted member of the current group who is becoming a senior player, with 11 goals in 30 appearances, despite being only 22 blackjack
  
  His versatility down both the left and right flank, and ability to play as an attacking wing-back, is handy for a manager who likes to chop and change systems blackjack
  
  Bukayo Saka is a sure thing for England’s Euro 2024 squad (The FA via Getty Images)Phil FodenFoden is often still talked about in terms of potential, but he will be 24 when the Euros come around and is becoming increasingly essential to Pep Guardiola’s City team blackjack
  
  His velcro control is unique in the England squad and Southgate’s only conundrum is how to fit his best attacking talents into the same team blackjack
  
  Marcus RashfordThe Manchester United forward is the third highest goalscorer of the Southgate era, with 15, behind only Kane and Raheem Sterling blackjack
  
  His pace and direct runs towards goal from the left wing complement Kane’s preference to drop deep and link play, and he can also offer an option as a No 9 should it be needed blackjack
  
  Jack GrealishThe City winger took time earning Southgate’s trust but, at 28 and with a treble on his CV, is now a regular squad member blackjack
  
  The only question is whether the manager sees him as an important part of the first XI or a game-changing finisher off the bench blackjack
  
  Kieran TrippierOne of Southgate’s favourites, Trippier is a certainty to be part of the squad for his experience, versatility to play full-back on both sides and his set-piece delivery blackjack
  
  He may find himself on the bench when England play a back four, but tends to start at wing-back when Walker joins the back three blackjack
  
  Nearly thereHarry MaguireThe Manchester United defender is one of Southgate’s most trusted players and he was given another vote of confidence with a start against Italy in Euro 2024 qualifying blackjack
  
  But a lack of playing time for his club will bring scepticism from fans and the media as the tournament nears blackjack
  
  Aaron RamsdaleThe goalkeeper is battling for a starting place at Arsenal with David Raya, but Mikel Arteta’s messaging suggests that the Spaniard has arrived to share rather than steal the gloves, and so long as Ramsdale continues to play and play well, he will be on the plane blackjack
  
  Luke ShawWhen fit, Shaw is the preferred left-back in this England team, bringing attacking threat on the overlap as well as long-standing relationships with both Maguire and Rashford at Manchester United blackjack
  
  He has been out with a leg injury since mid-August and will need to reestablish himself amid competition from Ben Chilwell and Trippier blackjack
  
  Luke Shaw is England’s first choice left-back (Tim Goode/PA) (PA Wire)Kalvin PhillipsLike Maguire at United, Phillips is a firm favourite with the manager but there is a growing issue around his lack of game time for Manchester City blackjack
  
  Phillips has admitted he might need to make a decision over his future, but he remains a leading option in a shallow pool of central midfielders and now has plenty of major tournament experience blackjack
  
  James MaddisonThe midfielder struggled with an injury at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which prevented him from making an appearance, but his early-season form for Tottenham has demanded a place in recent squads and Maddison is poised to travel as deputy to Bellingham in the No 10 role blackjack
  
  Ben ChilwellThe Chelsea left-back didn’t play a single minute at the last Euros and watched on as Shaw (and occasionally Trippier) filled that spot blackjack
  
  He has been sidelined with a hamstring injury this season but a fit and firing Chilwell should be on the plane blackjack
  
  Jordan HendersonThe midfielder was booed by England fans in recent internationals at Wembley following his move to the Saudi Pro League, but that only seemed to strengthen Southgate’s loyalties to the player blackjack
  
  The manager values Henderson’s professionalism, experience and leadership in a youthful squad blackjack
  
  In contentionRaheem SterlingSouthgate has talked up Sterling’s chances of figuring in his plans to the media, but the Chelsea winger has not been involved in recent camps and faces a fight against Rashford and Grealish, among others, to figure on the left side of England’s attack blackjack
  
  Sam JohnstoneThe Crystal Palace goalkeeper has overtaken Nick Pope in the running to be England’s third-choice goalkeeper and played well in a recent friendly with Australia blackjack
  
  Lewis DunkBrighton’s captain had to wait five years for his second international cap but has done well with the opportunities presented to him in recent months blackjack
  
  Dunk’s aerial dominance and ball-playing ability, honed at Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi, are valuable traits at centre-half, one of England’s most uncertain positions blackjack
  
  Reece JamesThe full-back is one of the best in the world when fully fit but his lack of reliability is a concern, particularly with the smaller 23-player squad this time around blackjack
  
  What’s more, James is fighting for a place against a competitive field of Walker, Trippier and Alexander-Arnold blackjack
  
  Reece James and Ben Chilwell have suffered early season injui (Action Images via Reuters)Marc GuehiThe Palace defender is highly rated by the England coaching team and, at 23, could be a future cornerstone of the back line blackjack
  
  Centre-back is a position that’s up for grabs at Euro 2024 and Guehi has a real chance blackjack
  
  Conor GallagherGallagher has been bright and energetic in his cluster of England caps and is clearly valued by the manager, but other central midfielders are well-established internationals who will be tricky to usurp blackjack
  
  Ollie WatkinsWatkins is in pole position to play the role of Kane’s deputy at the Euros, with a consistent stream of goals and assists since Unai Emery took over at Aston Villa…Callum Wilson…But Wilson is not far behind and when the Newcastle striker stays fit, the goals usually flow blackjack
  
  Work to doMason MountLike Sterling, Mount has found himself pushed out of the England team by emerging talent and his own unconvincing form for new club Manchester United – although injuries have interrupted his season blackjack
  
  Needs some goals and assists to earn a recall blackjack
  
  Mason Mount is yet to hit his stride at Manchester United (Getty Images)Fikayo TomoriSouthgate criticised the Milan defender last year for making too many mistakes, but Tomori has shown good form in Serie A and earned an autumn recall to the England squad blackjack
  
  James Ward-ProwseThe West Ham midfielder is in form for his club but out of favour for his country, having just missed out on the past two major tournaments and having been excluded from recent squads blackjack
  
  There have been calls for him to usurp Henderson in midfield, but Southgate remains as yet unmoved blackjack
  
  Nick PopeThe goalkeeper has lost his place as England’s third-choice keeper and needs a strong season for Newcastle to win back his spot blackjack
  
  Jarrod BowenAnother West Ham player in form blackjack
  
  Bowen has showed bright attacking intent in his five caps to date, but faces stiff competition in the winger roles blackjack
  
  Ivan ToneyThe Brentford striker will return from a blackjack betting ban in January with five months to prove himself to Southgate blackjack
  
  He will need to hit the ground running blackjack
  
  Levi ColwillThe Chelsea defender has established himself in Mauricio Pochettino’s team and has the ability to play both centre-back and left-back blackjack
  
  Aged 20, this tournament may come just too soon with more established players ahead in the pecking order blackjack
  
  Outside blackjack betsCurtis JonesLiverpool’s 22-year-old midfielder had earned a regular place in Jurgen Klopp’s team earlier this season before injury struck blackjack
  
  If he can impress regularly at Anfield, he will give Southgate something to consider blackjack
  
  Curtis Jones has made a promising start to the season (Martin Rickett/PA) (PA Wire)Ben WhiteThe Arsenal defender left the 2022 World Cup for personal reasons and has not returned to the England setup blackjack
  
  It is unclear whether White would want to, but continues to perform to a high level for one of the best teams in the Premier League blackjack
  
  Eberechi EzeThe Palace midfielder has a couple of international caps but will need a stellar season to break into the Euros squad blackjack
  
  Morgan Gibbs-WhiteGibbs-White worked up through the England age groups but is still to be recognised at senior level blackjack
  
  Played a big part in England’s success at the Under-21 Euros in the summer blackjack
  
  Dominic Calvert-LewinOnce seen as the natural understudy to Harry Kane, Calvert-Lewin has struggled with form and primarily fitness and has fallen down the pecking order behind Watkins and Wilson blackjack
  
  Ezri KonsaKonsa is a vital part of an improving Aston Villa team under Unai Emery, but is yet to earn a senior international call-up blackjack
  
  Eddie NketiahEngland Under-21s’ record goalscorer has only made one senior appearance so far and he would need a special season for Arsenal to break into the Euro 2024 squad blackjack
  
  Predicting England’s Euro 2024 squadGoalkeepers: Pickford, Ramsdale, Johnstone blackjack
  
  Defenders: Walker, Alexander-Arnold, Trippier, Guehi, Stones, Dunk, Maguire, Shaw, Chilwell blackjack
  
  Midfielders: Rice, Phillips, Henderson, Maddison, Bellingham blackjack
  
  Forwards: Saka, Foden, Rashford, Grealish, Kane, Watkins blackjack
