Former England all-rounder Ian Botham believes that Eoin Morgan-led team would be required to put up collective effort to ensure the team makes history at the upcoming World Cup.
In his column for the Mirror, Botham said that they still hadn't seen England put together their best performance, but he could see it coming.
However, he said that the defeats against Australia in the recently concluded Tri-series were disappointments and evidence that they were still not quite there yet.
Referring collective effort as the key to England's success, Botham said that when it does, it would be good enough to beat any team at the World Cup.
England will open their World Cup campaign against Australia on February 14 in Melbourne.
