Bangladesh knocked out England from the mega event to set up a likely clash with defending champions India in the quarter finals.
"Well done Bangladesh! England pathetic! When are we going to pick the selectors to pick a team for the one-day format? Time for change," tweeted former England all-rounder Ian Botham.
Australian spin legend Shane Warne wrote on his twitter handle: "Eng had the wrong team, the wrong style of play & everyone could see it tonight's result not a shock, I feel for Morgan, coach is in trouble."
He tweeted, "DO NOT SAY WE HAVENT PRIORITISED ODI CRICKET! We played a back-to-back Ashes to make sure England played 6 months of ODI's before this WC!"
"I CANNOT BELIVE THIS! I JUST CANNOT! But, well done Bangladesh! You deserved it! #ENGvBAN."
Even the cricket associations of Japan and Malaysia, who are far from being considered as strong cricketing nations, reacted to the English defeat sarcastically.
"Dear @ECB_cricket, this might not be a great time, but as there's room in your schedule, fancy a game in Japan on the way home? #challenge," the Japan Cricket Association said.
