Balanced News: Key man takes blame for ‘mistake’ in England’s World Cup

England’s managing director, Rob Key, has taken responsibility for England’s failed World Cup defence, admitting that his focus had been on Test cricket rather than the tournament. He expressed support for captain Jos Buttler and coach Matthew Mott, stating that he holds himself accountable for the team’s performance. Key also acknowledged that there had been some tactical mistakes, including overthinking and underestimating the difficulty of the conditions. England finished outside the top four but managed to secure two wins towards the end of the tournament to avoid complete disaster.
