Livingstone Livingstone England in the T20 World Cup frame after a stunning century

Nottingham: Liam Livingstone has not been able to force it to the first English choice in the Twenty20 World Cup this year after an amazing century against Pakistan, assistant coach Paul Collingwood said on Saturday.
Livingstone hit the fastest UK Ratus T20, only 42 balls, including nine six, in a 31-run defeat by Pakistan in Nottingham on Friday.
The previous highest score in the four International Inning T20 was 29 did not come out but Turn de Force in Trent Bridge could make a 27-year-old Livingstone difficult to ignore at the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates in October.
He now has two opportunities to impress in the T20 series three matches against Pakistan which continues in Headingley on Sunday before finishing at Old Trafford, Livingstone’s Lancashire Home Ground, on Tuesday.
“He raised his hand, as simple as that,” Collingwood told reporters.
“You can’t do anything other than what he did,” added the former English player, who was responsible for the squad while Chief Coach Chris Silverwood rested.
“He has two more opportunities for the next two matches.
It’s very difficult not to choose a man if he plays like that.” I thought the innings were played as well as interesting as we saw in English shirts for some time.
“Collingwood, the England captain when they won the world of 2010 twenty20 with a team featuring talented Batsman Kevin Pietersen, there was no doubt about the caliber of the century Livingstone – and what it meant to the strong English white ball order.” You think you have a very unit.
Strong there and then Liam did something like that, “Collingwood said.” Add something special.
It is a scary line-up.
“For all Livingstone natural talents, more Friday inings than ‘slogging’ as collewood recognized.” This is not just a gift given by God he gets, he puts a lot of hard work and.
Efforts into it, “he said.” He is very wise and analyzes quite a lot.
“As much as people might think that he just stands there and swings, there is a lot of thought that goes into the game, there are many skills that enter and work hard too.” And it’s not just his hitting power, it’s also what he gives with the ball.
He is very modern T20 cricket.
“He can bowl the leg-spin and off-spin, depending on whether he bowling against the right or left batsmen, and he is an extraordinary fielder.
As a whole package, this is the type of player you want to do.” Meanwhile, Collingwood confirmed Jos Buttler would return to the side in Headingley following a calf injury to reclaim the opening place from Dawid Malan.
But whether Britain will remember fairly Rashid on his Yorkshire house, after his rival Matt Parkinson’s legbinner bent four gurah overs for 47 which was expensive on Friday, still uncertain.
“This is a balance,” Collingwood said.
“Of course just will return to the frame, but it’s still important to see what Parky can do.”
