Everybody will take a gander at their telephones tomorrow: Woakes

It's a precarious choice for selectors and I'm happy I'm not settling on that choice. It must be done I assume" - Woakes © Getty

"Everybody will take a gander at their telephones tomorrow," said Chris Woakes after England's triumph over Pakistan in their last focused match before the beginning of the World Cup.

With England's 15-man squad for the 50-over competition due to be declared on Tuesday morning, players will discover on Monday whether they have made the cut. Amid the post-coordinate introduction at Leeds, where a 4-0 arrangement win was wrapped up with a persuading 54-run triumph, Eoin Morgan said every one of the 17 players will be considered, each having a real shot at a World Cup place.

Two of tomorrow's calls will bring disillusionment. What's more, with Jofra Archer everything except protecting his spot with great showcases of pace and nous, at any rate one player who has been on the four-year venture with this side will observe as a passive spectator.

Woakes, however, won't be one of them. His figures of five for 54 - his third five-wicket pull in ODIs - elastic stepped his certifications as the pioneer of this assault. Just wellness would have tossed his World Cup interest into uncertainty. By and by, he comprehends the anxiety of the following 24 hours.

"Everybody will be careful about that telephone call," he said. "Regardless of whether you have an inclination that you have a decent opportunity to being in the squad, until you hear it from selectors' mouths, it's not exactly an unchangeable reality.

"As a player you're still most likely a smidgen anxious, in especially with this 16 and 17 players. Everybody has performed sooner or later over the arrangement. It's a precarious choice for selectors and I'm happy I'm not settling on that choice. It must be done I assume."

Regardless of the conspicuous pressure that could emerge from players paying special mind to their spots, Woakes recognized the demonstrable skill of the gathering. Not just have players come in and pulled their weight in the XI, yet practice sessions have built up an aggressive edge.

"It's positively determined everybody forward to attempt and improve, to ensure they're large and in charge, to ensure they tick everything off practically speaking. At whatever point you get the chance to bowl by and by, or bat or field, you continually feel...not like you're on tryout, however like it's a chance to demonstrate your abilities. It's surely determined everybody to attempt and improve and it's positively appeared in our exhibitions over the arrangement."

Every one of the five matches played in this arrangement have been on surfaces helpful for batting - ones arranged by the ECB close by nearby groundsmen. Pakistan's 297 full scale in the second innings at Leeds was the main score of the eight innings (over the four finished matches) to fall under 340.

While the ICC currently assume responsibility for pitch arrangements, the standard, surfaces are probably not going to be altogether different. In that capacity, wickets with the new ball are an absolute necessity if groups need to stem the progression of runs.

Britain's strategies with the ball, particularly at home, have been tied in with taking early wickets by utilizing the new ball and either early morning conditions or the impact of counterfeit lights to offer help. It absolutely isn't advanced science, yet it is a technique Woakes had the option to incorporated today, with three wickets in the initial three overs of Pakistan's pursuit of 352, including the hazardous Fakhar Zaman who put England to the sword in the second ODI with a sublime 138.

There is an exercise there for abroad quicks going to these shores for the World Cup.

"With scores crawling up and up - 350 or more as well as 400 now - wickets in advance and getting the best players out is pivotal. You see somebody like Fakhar Zaman, in the event that he gets in as he did at Southampton, he can hurt you and score rapidly.

"As we've seen with our folks at the top, in the event that they get in and get moving, it's difficult to stop them. Wickets in advance will be extremely significant. We've done that sensibly well in this arrangement. Ideally that stands us in great stead pushing ahead."
