History
The England cricket team is one of the oldest
national teams in cricketing history. They were hosts to the first-ever Test match in 1877 and were involved in the first-ever ODI in 1971, both against Australia cricket team. The ‘Home of Cricket’ i.e. the Lord’s Cricket Ground is the home ground of the English team. They have participated in all ICC tournaments till date.
ICC Cricket World Cup
England hosted the first three editions of the Cricket World Cup and participated in all editions till date. They have hosted the 1999 and the 2019 tournament as well.

Fan following
The England cricket team has found it difficult to capture the attention of the new generation with not many accolades to show for their performances. They have been getting the attention with a few potent performances after being the finalists of the 2016 T20 World Cup and then winning the all-important ICC Cricket World Cup in 2019 at home. They have brought in superstar cricketers like Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer to highlight their cricket.
On social media, they have been causing a stir lately with back-to-back performances that displayed cricket of highest quality in the World Cup and then the Ashes 2019. The ECB has over 750K followers on Twitter, 1 million followers on Instagram and just under 5 million followers on Facebook.
