They are inspiriting the nation,” said England under-19 coach Andy Hurry on England’s transformation in limited overs cricket under skipper Eoin Morgan ever since the debacle in 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

“They have kicked on to a different level. Eoin Morgan has a big part of that with his leadership and hopefully I can do so something similar out here.
