Paul Collingwood has told Englands stars to make sure they use their ICC World Twenty20 triumph as a springboard to dominate world cricket. England captain Collingwood and his team-mates returned to London on Tuesday still basking in the warm afterglow of beating Australia in Sundays Twenty20 final in Barbados.
It was the first ICC world trophy England had ever won and Collingwood is determined to ensure the likes of Craig Kieswetter,Eoin Morgan,and man of the tournament Kevin Pietersen build on that success in a busy 12 months ahead. England now face Bangladesh and Pakistan,then travel to Australia to defend the Ashes before taking part in the ODI World Cup in February.
The one thing we want to do is become better and better and if you stop and be happy with what you achieved then you dont move anywhere, Collingwood said. If you look at the great sides of the last 20 years,they have gone and experienced these World Cup wins time and time again and thats where we have to get to as a cricket team, he added.
