England's cricket team faced a disappointing eighth-wicket defeat against the West Indies, marking their sixth consecutive series loss overseas and a 13th defeat in their last 21 ODIs. After losing the toss, England struggled to recover from a disastrous start of 24 for four, ultimately posting 263 for eight. The West Indies capitalized on favorable batting conditions, with Brandon King and Keacy Carty scoring centuries to secure a 2-1 series victory. England's captain Liam Livingstone acknowledged the challenges of bowling second in such conditions and highlighted the team's inexperience, as many players lacked significant domestic 50-over cricket exposure. Criticism has arisen regarding the impact of The Hundred competition on the development of new ODI talent, as players seek more opportunities for consistent play. Brendon McCullum will face a significant challenge as the new white-ball coach to revitalize England's ODI performance ahead of crucial upcoming tournaments.
