We\u2019ve focused at times on whether the dew is going to come down, whether it\u2019s going to be a turner, whether it\u2019s a 230 pitch or a 350 pitch, stuff like that. They\u2019re the things we haven\u2019t got right.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/24\/17\/76947247-12667169-image-a-8_1698165898047.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rob Key believes England have \u2018overthought\u2019 their tactics during a disastrous start in India<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/24\/17\/76947201-12667169-image-a-10_1698165921427.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The holders have suffered defeat in three of their opening four matches at the World Cup\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is a unique place to come and play. It\u2019s bloody tricky to work out the best thing to do. But regardless of any decisions, you need your players at their very best in this competition, and we haven\u2019t had that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, after the ECB introduced multi-year central contracts for the first time, Key admitted that the best deals would be made available to multi-format players after white-ball specialist David Willey was the only member of the World Cup squad to miss out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s fair to say David Willey wasn\u2019t best pleased,\u2019 he said. \u2018It\u2019s tough, to be honest. Where we thought we were going to have Test cricketers and white-ball cricketers, we\u2019re going into a time where we\u2019ve got more multi-format cricketers than not.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/24\/17\/76947197-12667169-image-a-15_1698165939860.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/24\/17\/76947193-12667169-image-m-16_1698165944052.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Jos Buttler&#8217;s decisions so far have not paid off and England now need a minor miracle\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Key played down the significance of Ben Stokes\u2019s decision to turn down a three-year contract in favour of a one-year deal, saying he expected England\u2019s Test captain to sign a longer contract in 2024, when Stokes believes there will be more money on offer following the ECB\u2019s latest broadcast deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Absolutely,\u2019 said Key. \u2018As long as he feels the deal is right for him, and he\u2019s getting what he\u2019s worth.
