England’s horrific white-ball tour of India ended with a massive 142-run drubbing in the third ODI at Ahmedabad on Wednesday (February 12).

With this loss, the Three Lions conceded the ODI series 0-3. Earlier in the tour, they had suffered a 1-4 defeat at the hands of India in the five-T20I series.

Reacting to the debacle, former India head coach Ravi Shastri and ex-England captain Kevin Pietersen mince no words as they strongly criticized the Jos Buttler-led side

While performing commentary duties during the third ODI, Shastri made a shocking revelation that the English team had just one net session during the India tour and slammed their unserious attitude before the Champions Trophy 2025.

"From what I've heard, England have had just one net session this entire trip, if not any. If you're not prepared to do the hard yards, you're not going to improve,” Shastri said on-air.

Pietersen, who was also part of the commentary team, added some more to the claim as he revealed that Tom Banton, who joined the England squad as a replacement for Jacob Bethell, was practising golf on the eve of the third ODI against India.

“The 2-hour flight from Dubai across here. He (Tom Banton) was on the golf course yesterday. He wasn't batting, and where have the issues come? The start, 1 for 60, 2 for 80. And then, what happens? None of them can play spin. And how do you improve playing spin?,” said Pietersen.

During the 25th over of England’s chase in the third ODI, the camera panned towards the England dugout, where Jofra Archer was caught napping in one corner.

Shastri, who was in commentary box then, took at a dig at the England pacer, saying: "Precisely the question which I said. Nice time for a nap. It's that kind of a trip for England."

England will need to make quick changes to their approach ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, slated to get underway on February 19 in Karachi. They will open their CT campaign against Australia at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on February 22.
