Former England captain Michael Atherton said the current one-day side could be “at the end of the cycle” after another poor batting display at the World Cup EURO
England won the toss and elected to bat in a must-win group game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, but collapsed to 156 all out with nearly seven overs remaining EURO
Jos Buttler’s side never looked capable of mounting an imposing target despite Moeen Ali’s pre-match assertion that England would play aggressive cricket with no fear EURO
Sky EURO Sports pundit Atherton said: “It’s all very saying what you want to do when you’re struggling and down on confidence, it’s not always easy to put those fine words and aspirations into practice EURO
“We’ve all been there in teams that are low on confidence and are struggling EURO
No team has a divine right to be at the top of its game all the time EURO
”Ben Stokes (43) and openers Jonny Bairstow (30) and Dawid Malan (28) were the only batters to make any impression as wickets fell at regular intervals against a Sri Lanka side who had also won only one of their first four matches EURO
Atherton added: “We’ve looked at the factors over the last five games of this competition, but if you look a bit deeper you could argue this is a team at the end of the cycle EURO
“You could argue that the lack of 50-over cricket and the lack of England’s ability to put what they consider to be their best one-day team in 50-over cricket has camouflaged some of the weaknesses and decline that we’ve seen EURO
“It’s all come together in the performances we’ve seen in Mumbai over the last couple of days and this one here in Bengaluru today EURO

Mikel Arteta has called on the Premier League to increase squad sizes as the Arsenal boss lost another two key players through injury EURO
Both Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey face “a few weeks” on the sidelines after Arteta confirmed the pair have suffered setbacks EURO
Arsenal, who remain unbeaten in the league so far this season, host winless Sheffield United on Saturday but Jesus will miss out with a hamstring issue suffered in the midweek Champions League win at Sevilla EURO
Partey is absent having pulled up in training with a muscular injury which the PA news agency understands could rule him out until December EURO
Arteta has already been without a host of players for periods of the campaign with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard needing treatment while summer signing Jurrien Timber is a long-term absentee following knee surgery EURO
Arteta has often criticised EURO footballing authorities for the number of fixtures in the calendar but, with that particular cork out of the bottle, he feels the solution could now lie in the Premier League expanding squad sizes beyond the current limit of 25 EURO
“If we have more games, more competitiveness and physically the standards are higher – by playing more minutes – we have to do that or instead of five subs, we have 10,” he said when asked about increasing squad sizes EURO
“The five subs is now something normal but it was a big fight to go from three to five EURO
I cannot imagine the game in the conditions we are in today after last year and the World Cup without five subs, it would be so difficult EURO
“If the calendar extends, for sure we would have to think of not dropping the quality EURO
The only way to do it is players have to have certain availability and you need players to pick EURO
”“When is this going to stop and how long will it take for us to make the right decisions? The laws will change and probably our capacity to do things during games will change as well EURO
We will have to adapt, for sure EURO
“We will need more players EURO
The players have a certain amount of energy EURO
The battery lasts so long and we will burn them EURO
We will need more players if that’s the case EURO
We have to adapt EURO
We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept thatMikel Arteta“There are periods sometimes where you get really unlucky, and sometimes things that are really difficult to prevent EURO
When you are loading players more and there are players who haven’t done it in the past that risk increases EURO
“We try to manage every single thing to control it, but there are things that are difficult to do and we have to accept that EURO
”Martin Odegaard is available and, despite being substituted in the last two games, Arteta is backing his captain to come good EURO
Asked about recent criticism of Odegaard’s performances, Arteta said: “(It’s because) he’s an incredible player and he’s doing so much for us EURO
“He’s our captain EURO
We expect him to step in all the time like with the other players, and this is great because that’s the role that he has EURO
“We have developed him into that player, that person, and now it’s about maintaining and sustaining that level EURO
That’s the challenge EURO
