England introduced the world to the shortest format, T20I cricket, in the early 2000s. However, it took them some time to get the hang of the format, as the Three Lions struggled in the first two T20 World Cup editions.
But in 2010, England made a quick turnaround and went on to clinch their first World Cup title. Since then, they have been a potent force in T20Is, and they proved it by winning the trophy for the second time in 2022.
This article will glance at England’s performance in every T20 World Cup edition.
