The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Campaign of England ended in total humiliation, since they crashed from the tournament without a single victory. England’s disastrous performance has left fans and surprised experts, but criticism is not just about their fighting in the countryside; Questions about the mentality, attitude and approach of the team are being asked.
After their departure, the English media criticized the attitude of the players, claiming that there is a deeper cultural problem within the team. The lack of urgency, apathetic body language and unclear explanations after the game have only fed frustration between fans and former Cricket players.
The culture and mentality of England questioned after the ICC 2025 champion trophy disaster

Rob Key was summoned by Sky Sports: “I have no problem with the way our boys do things. But there is no doubt that we have to improve when we are doing interviews; When players are doing their press conferences after the game, we talk a lot of garbage most of the time. “
Key admitted that English players have often not communicated effectively, which led to unnecessary controversy. He added: “They are trying not to be annoying players in the locker room, not trying to give something that they do not believe they should, and then end up creating headlines through that. But I don’t kill people for the things they say.”
That is not absolutely true: Rob Key defends the players of England
Last month, Ben Duckett declared that England did not care about the ODI series against India, and they ended up losing the three games, followed by a shameful campaign without victories at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
However, the team director dismissed the claims that the players lacked the commitment or hunger of Victoria. The former English Cricket player has yet insisted that the team is working hard, and arrogance is not the reason behind their struggles in the field.

Key also explained: “There is no world in which we believe that players do not care, that they do not want to go and get great scores, that they don’t mind winning, they are arrogant. That is not absolutely true. Half of the time they are getting into trouble, it is because they are actually trying to concentrate so much that they end up making mistakes.”
I have no problem with: Rob Key in the activities of the players outside the field in tours abroad
Meanwhile, English players have often faced criticism for their activities outside the field during tours abroad, since, according to reports, they spend more time in the golf course than in training. However, the team director has dismissed these concerns, saying that they remain completely committed to their game.
Key signed by saying: “Many things are done in the way they do things and the way they spend their time when they are not playing, with what I have no problems. When I saw the team in Pakistan, they practiced hard. They were trapped; It wasn’t that they were not practicing, so we did not act. “
