Latham's recent form
The veteran batter has blown hot and cold in the ODI format lately. Since the start of 2023, the left-handed batter has managed just 800-plus runs across 36 matches at 26-plus. He could only manage 155 runs at 25.83 in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, the preceding major ICC ODI event. Latham hence would like to put up a better show in the Champions Trophy.
