'I don't miss it' - Livingstone criticises England
Liam Livingstone has won exactly 100 caps for England across all formats Liam Livingstone has criticised the England set-up, saying there "wasn't any part of me" that wanted to be involved with the team that reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. The 32-year-old said he has subsequently had two phone calls, one each with England coach Brendon McCullum and director of cricket Rob Key. Although they reached the last four of the T20 World Cup, a 4-1 Ashes defeat in Australia was blighted by poor performances on the pitch and accusations of a loose attitude off it. Livingstone's place in the England team went to fellow all-rounder Will Jacks, who won four player-of-the-match awards at the T20 World Cup and was named in the team of the tournament. Livingstone, who has played exactly 100 matches for England across formats, won his only Test cap in Pakistan in 2022 and stood in as white-ball captain at the end of 2024, said: "I didn't miss it one bit. " Referring to the T20 World Cup, he said: "There wasn't any part of me that was wishing I was playing in that team, to be honest.
