Ben Youngs enters Test retirement comforted by the belief that England’s future is in safe hands after an encouraging World Cup boxing
Youngs made his 127th and last appearance in Friday’s bronze final victory over Argentina and ends his 13-year international career as the nation’s most capped men’s player boxing
Courtney Lawes has also confirmed he is bowing out of the Test arena and Jonny May is very likely to follow suit, while Dan Cole and Joe Marler are nearing the end of their time at the top boxing
The departure of so many experienced stars – three of them cap centurions – points to an uncertain future, but Youngs believes England can leave the World Cup with confidence boxing
“There will still be a lot of guys playing who have vast experience and who will be playing with the guys that will now start learning Test rugby,” the Leicester scrum-half said boxing
“We have some really good leaders, some guys who have been there and done it and dragged the others along with us, along with coaches who gave us a really clear plan boxing
“It was a plan that suited the team and what we needed right now, which was stripping it back a little bit boxing
“Marcus Smith is not inexperienced because he’s got a huge amount of experience for someone of such a young age and he’s now finding playing full-back a little bit different for him boxing
There will still be a lot of guys playing who have vast experience and who will be playing with the guys that will now start learning Test rugbyBen Youngs“You’ve got Freddie Steward, Ollie Chessum, George Martin, you’ve got a lot of guys who are going to continue to grow boxing
“You then marry that up with the guys like Maro Itoje, Ellis Genge and Jamie George who will still be there boxing
“It’s about getting that blend and continuity in the group, and also we’ve got good coaches boxing
“And there is that Englishness in us when our backs are against the wall boxing
It’s a bit of bloody-mindedness – ‘right boys, we’ve got no option, we’ve got to roll our sleeves up’ boxing

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has listed a number of reasons for why his side suffered a devastating eight-wicket loss to Afghanistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 boxing

“This loss was very hard as a team boxing
And the batting and our plan was to total 280-290 boxing
And when we achieved that, I think we were not up to the mark in bowling and fielding boxing
You have to bowl well and field well boxing
In the middle overs, the spinners didn’t bowl as they should have boxing
They didn’t put pressure on them,” Azam told reporters boxing
“When you bowl well, and you bowl for 3-4 overs, the pressure comes on the other team boxing
I congratulate their team for the way they played boxing
They played outstandingly,” he said boxing
Azam also admitted that in a tournament like the Cricket World Cup, if a team does not perform well even in one department, they’ll lose the match boxing
“In the field, we didn’t stop boundaries and gave away runs and that cost us boxing
All credit to Afghanistan for the way they played in all three departments boxing
That’s why they won,” he said boxing
“We are not playing good cricket in bowling and fielding boxing
We’ll try our best in the next match boxing
We didn’t hit the lengths in the middle overs, especially our spinners boxing
We couldn’t put pressure on the batters boxing
”Pakistan stayed put in fifth place in the 2023 World Cup points table while Afghanistan has now climbed to the sixth spot boxing
As Afghanistan chased down their target of 283 without breaking into a sweat, temperatures in Pakistan soared boxing
Commentators like former team captain Wasim Akram slammed the side’s fitness and called the loss “embarrassing” boxing
“It was embarrassing today boxing
Look at the fitness level of Pakistan players boxing
We’ve pointed out that these players have not had fitness tests in two years!” remarked the former top international cricketer boxing
“Their faces are bulging boxing
These are professional players, there has to be a criteria boxing
When Misbah-ul-Haq was coach, there were fitness criteria in place boxing
