After a dismal performance in the 2015 World Cup in Australia, England has changed the way they play cricket. They put their money on young dynamic cricketers and are now reaping rewards for that.

The likes of Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jos Buttler have been outstanding in the last four years and have made England a superpower in ODI cricket.

Talking about Stokes, Root and Buttler, very few people know that these players played for England U19 together in the Under-19 World Cup in 2010. Another member of the current England World Cup squad, James Vince, was also part of the same squad.

The England U19 side defeated defending champions India, to top the group before getting knocked out by West Indies in the quarter-final. England might not have won the U19 World Cup that year, but it produced some of the biggest future stars of World cricket.
