England does not have the resources to win WC: Boycott

London: Former opener Geoffrey Boycott has said that the one-day cricket series in India has shown that England does not have the resources to win the World Cup in 2007.

``The series in India has become little more than a series of trial matches and it has proved that some of our youngsters are just not good enough,'' Boycott wrote in `The Daily Telegraph' on Thursday.

``I am sorry, but Kabir Ali, Liam Plunkett, Owais Shah and Ian Bell are not going to win the World Cup for England.''

Boycott said key players constantly missing out on matches due to various reasons were a concern.

``(Coach) Duncan Fletcher reckons he already knows 10 of his likely World Cup side. The problem is that half of them are not in India at the moment,'' Boycott said. — PTI
