This England side hasn’t been affected by the losses in Tests
Coming to India and playing any form of cricket is tough. India is very strong at home. Any series you play away from home is always a tough one. And playing here in particular is tough. But certainly, in the last two years as a side, we have been really positive. The series we won at home (versus Pakistan and Sri Lanka last year), particularly with the form that we need to show with the Champions Trophy coming up and the 2019 World Cup
(also at home) holds a lot of weight. We haven’t played (ODIs) here recently. It has been just Tests. There are tough challenges here, particularly with the conditions and we know that. We have been to places like the UAE and won (3-1 against Pakistan). (If) we focus on the right games and adapt to conditions, we are going to be a tough team to beat. Over the past two years, it hasn’t. And traditionally, probably over a longer period of time, you find whatever format you play last, you normally improve on. This side in particular hasn’t been affected. There have been a lot of changes between the Test and ODI teams. They bring new energy and a different attitude. Jos (Buttler) has played for Mumbai Indians and a lot of guys have different experience. Hopefully, we will see the same this year. A lot of (our) guys are going in the auction. The experience of playing under pressure the whole time from the big crowd and a lot of expectations is a good practice.
LOOKING AHEAD England’s ODI and T20I captain Eoin Morgan feels the changes from the Test squad will bring in new energy In the last two years as a side, we have been really positive. The series we won at home, particularly with the form that we need to show with the Champions Trophy coming up holds a lot of weight.
He is an exceptional captain. He led India to World Cup victories (2007 World T20 and 2011 50-over World Cup), and that is a huge achievement.
