England's emerging players must learn to handle pressure cricket if the team is to have a shot at winning the World Cup, says Nick Knight.

After watching the tourists fail to chase down Australia's total of 217 in the final ODI in Adelaide despite being 154-3 in the 36th over, Knight feels England's young squad need to toughen up in the coming months - starting with the upcoming Twenty20 internationals and next month's tour of the West Indies

"This is a big, big year for one-day international cricket with the World Cup at the end of it and I believe English cricketers should be exposed to that kind of pressure more," said the former England opener.
"They've got themselves into positions where they can win a game but they haven't followed it through, and that will concern [one-day coach] Ashley Giles."
