ICC Champions Trophy: England men’s cricket director Rob Key has responded to recent criticism from all-rounder Liam Livingstone, saying the player remains firmly in contention for national selection despite a disagreement over communication and team environment.

Livingstone, who has been out of the England setup since last year’s ICC Champions Trophy, had criticised the team management for avoiding difficult conversations and suggested his future depended on changes behind the scenes. He also claimed that Key had told him he had 100 more important things to do during a one-on-one discussion.

Responding to the remarks, Key defended his position but chose not to go into details of their conversation.
