“This is a sad moment for those who love Brazilian soccer. It’s getting hard to find the spirit to watch the games. This is perhaps one of the worst teams in recent years, it has no respectable leaders, only average players for the majority."

Italy are second in Group B, level on three points with leaders Spain, after an encouraging performance in front of a feverish Albanian support in Dortmund, which saw Nedim Bajrami open the scoring after just 23 seconds.

Anything other than an England win would have seen Jos Buttler's men knocked out and they were left fearing an early exit when rain delayed the scheduled start by three hours.

Afridi said that Babar missed out on a chance to do the honourable thing when the selectors approached him to return as the white-ball captain ahead of the T20 World Cup.

"The team is conscious that this was a first step," said Nagelsmann as Germany eye a record-breaking fourth European title.
