London, June 22 : England's cricket selectors have been called upon to explain their team's dismal showing in the one-day triangular series with Australia and Pakistan.

England have now lost 11 consecutive one-day games and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chief executive Tim Lamb said here on Friday the team's performance needed improvement.

"It's hugely disappointing for an England side to lose all six games. It's not good enough and that's why we've called this meeting between the ECB management and the selectors."

"I think we're entitled to ask the selectors what their plans are particularly in regard to international one-day cricket."

The men who will have to face the questions are chairman of selectors David Graveney, coach Duncan Fletcher, and former England off-spinner Geoff Miller.

England captain Nasser Hussain, who missed the tournament with a thumb injury, will not be present as he is playing for Essex.

"This is not a witch hunt," said Lamb. "We just want to see that the selectors have robust plans in place for the World Cup in 2003.

"Selection is matter for the selectors which is why we have asked them to come in and talk to us. They are all contracted until the end of the 2003 season."

Lamb admitted that injuries had weakened England's side and added that the meeting was not a prelude to major changes in personnel. "We have full confidence in Duncan Fletcher and the other selectors."
