England played some of the best cricket in the World Cup, which was a culmination of four years of planning and effort. They will now head into a home Ashes series that begins with the first Test at Edgbaston on August 1, and Vaughan said that they need to take the high of winning the World Cup to extend their foothold to the other formats.

“We need to see this England side use the last six weeks and really get the Test team playing with consistency,” Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live’s program. “They have got all the ingredients to be an incredible cricket team across Tests, 50 overs and T20.”

England are currently ranked No.1 in ODIs. They ended a 44-year drought at the World Cup to clinch their maiden title in a white-knuckle finale, widely being hailed as the greatest ODI ever.

“We get that still from 2005, and they are still the best moments – when people come up to you and say they only started playing because of ’05.

“They don’t know what they have done yet, they don’t know the impact they are going to have. In a few years, the players are going to get stopped in the street and told by people, ‘We only got into cricket because of you. My son or daughter started playing because of you’.”
