Paul Collingwood is hoping he can rediscover the great timing he has clearly passed on to his new baby daughter.
Hannah Mae Collingwood was born five days ago, allowing her father and key batting all-rounder to fly with his England team-mates to Bangladesh for two World Cup warm-up matches.
Collingwood, still nursing the minor back injury which ruled him out of the final defeat in England's 6-1 trouncing by Australia, is without a 50 in his last 11 one-day international innings.
The 34-year-old, who retired from Test cricket at the end of the successful Ashes campaign last month, has looked significantly out of form in both formats with the bat but has continued to contribute well with his nagging medium-pace.
"I'm really looking forward to this tournament. It is a different set of conditions altogether out here, and I've played quite a lot of cricket in the sub-continent, " he said.
"I hope I can draw on that experience and I'm confident I can make some big contributions in this tournament."
