5 reasons why England have been the most exciting LOI team since 2015 WC

#2 Separating the two formats

White ball cricket has now been accorded the same status as Test Cricket

Not only England, but selectors all over the world are not able to view different formats differently, and the players suffer as a result. For instance, when Alex Hales struggled in the Test Matches, he was not shunted out from the limited overs set-up because of those performances. His 50-over prowess in the County circuit gave him the longer rope in the limited overs side and now he has shown his ability both against the white and red ball.

Also, Strauss had gone on record stating that it was high time, both the formats were given equal importance, and that England needed to stop viewing themselves as a test playing side only. Well, he has walked his talk and some.
