Former England captain Geoff Boycott has criticised the current regime for a 'catalogue of mistakes' in the run up to the World Cup.

Peter Moores' side were dumped out in the group stages following a desperate defeat to Bangladesh on Monday.

This World Cup has been catalogue of mistakes. Alex Hales was playing in Sri Lanka then he doesn't play for weeks. Gary Ballance comes in, we have seen Steven Finn playing poorly for a long time, there was the sacking of KP and not telling the public the full reasons.

Sticking with Cook for far too long as captain. The whole thing is a mess, and when you keep making mistakes you can't expect the players to suddenly turn it on and play well in a World Cup.
