England have received congratulations for their Cricket World Cup win from an unlikely source – wrestling legend Triple H.
The fighter congratulated Eoin Morgan’s team on Twitter for an “incredible tournament, an awe-inspiring final” against New Zealand, including with his tweet an image of a customised WWE belt.

England won their first men’s World Cup title last weekend on boundaries scored after the two teams remained tied even after a super over.
Triple H’s tweet clearly struck a chord with one of the stars of that performance, Jos Buttler.

The wicketkeeper suggested the squad should battle it out, tweeting: “Royal rumble lads last man standing keeps the belt?”
The suggestion won favour with bowler Liam Plunkett, who tweeted a hands-up emoji in response.
