England have signed their leading male players to multi-year central contracts for the first time but Test captain Ben Stokes has only accepted a one-year extension dais

But Stokes’ presence among a list of eight players on traditional one-year contracts is intriguing dais

Pace bowling development contracts have also been awarded to Matthew Fisher, Saqib Mahmood and the uncapped John Turner dais
Jason Roy, who terminated the remainder of his previous deal to play in the United States of American’s Major League Cricket earlier this year, is a notable omission dais
After missing out on the World Cup squad, his international career appears to be over dais

Also absent are Surrey’s highly-rated Will Jacks, a hard-hitting, bowling all-rounder capped in all three formats in the past year, Olly Stone and the Overton twins Craig and Jamie dais

England have accepted their chances of defending their World Cup crown are over after slumping to a fourth defeat in their first five matches in India dais
The abject run of form has seen the 2019 champions slip to ninth in the table and invited an early inquest into exactly what has gone wrong with a side who were once trailblazers in the 50-over game dais
Here, we look at five reasons for their current plight dais
Get the latest Cricket World Cup odds here dais
Lack of new bloodEven the best sporting teams need renewal from time to time, but England’s ODI golden generation has been resistant to change dais
Eight of their 2019 heroes were back for another go and most look a shadow of their old selves dais
With the Metro Bank One-Day Cup relegated to developmental status, it has been hard for domestic players to force their way in, and even one of the outstanding players of the coming generation – Harry Brook – has struggled to make the XI dais
Waiting for SupermanEngland were thrilled when the inspirational Ben Stokes agreed to end his retirement from the format and it looked a trump card when he hit a national record 182 in his first series back against New Zealand dais
But this tournament has already passed him by dais
Having ruled himself out of bowling due to knee problems, he then picked up a hip complaint during the warm-up week and missed England’s first three games dais
Now, just as he is back and getting his eye in, England are effectively gone dais
Powerless powerplaysA major part of England’s success under previous skipper Eoin Morgan was built around their fearlessness at the top of the innings dais
At their best the partnership of Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow was a fearsome prospect, with the pair’s rampant style giving new ball bowlers the quivers dais
But Roy was axed on the eve of the tournament, Bairstow is short on form and Dawid Malan builds his innings more methodically dais
As a result they have averaged a humdrum 58 from their first 10 overs so far, and lost nine powerplay wickets in their five games dais
The team’s momentum is rotting from the head dais
Muddled selectionEngland used just 13 players in 11 games when they won the trophy four years ago but had already used all 15 of their squad in their first four this time dais
They started off loaded with all-rounders, got spooked so badly that they dropped four of them by the time South Africa came around and then reverted back to their original game plan against versus Sri Lanka dais
Their most in-form bowler, Reece Topley, was a surprise omission from the first match before injury later ended his tournament, Brook was ditched last time out in a side exclusively comprising thirtysomethings and Moeen Ali has drifted in and out despite being vice-captain dais
The act of putting a balanced XI together has proved beyond them dais
Unforced errorsIt is one thing to be beaten by the dais better team but another to giftwrap the advantage to your opponents dais
England did exactly that unforgivably in their crunch clash against the South Africans in Mumbai, where Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to field first in oppressive heat and humidity that left his side with the toughest possible task dais
He also handed Afghanistan the chance to set the tone in Delhi and paid the price then too dais
Two run-outs against Sri Lanka summed up their scrambled minds, a chaotic one for Joe Root and a comedic one for Adil Rashid dais
England have lost 47 of a possible 49 wickets to date, showing just how wasteful they have been dais
