Moeen Ali has urged his side to win the World Cup this summer to prove they are the best-ever England one-day team.
Eoin Morgan’s men go into the tournament as favourites and all eyes are now on the summer after the Test series against West Indies was wrapped up.

England will start their preparations with five ODIs in the Caribbean and Morgan’s men are confident of lifting the trophy.
Ali is one of eight Test players staying on for the ODI series and he is confident that the current group can better the previous teams that have finished as runners-up in the tournament.
He told Sky Sports: “We can say we were the best ODI side to play for England but without a trophy, it will be difficult to say that.
“We have come close and we feel now is the time. We don’t feel we have to win it, it’s more ‘this is the time to win it’. We are an amazing side but we know this year is massive for us.”
