England's one-day side may finally be turning a corner. A 2-1 series win over India has given Ben Stokes' team a genuine boost of momentum with just a year remaining before the next World Cup, according to BBC Sport's analysis.
The result marks a rare bright spot for England's ODI setup, which has struggled to find consistency in the shorter format since their previous World Cup triumphs. Beating India — one of the format's dominant forces — suggests the squad may be settling into a clearer identity ahead of the tournament.
BBC Sport notes that questions remain over whether this victory signals genuine progress or merely a one-off high against a side navigating its own transitional period. With twelve months to refine their approach, England's management will be keen to build on this platform rather than let it become an isolated result.
For now, though, there's cautious optimism that the ODI side is finally moving in the right direction after a difficult stretch.
