#4 Morgan's captaincy

Morgan has transformed the English team

Eoin Morgan is arguably the best captain in limited overs format presently. The way he backs up his teammates to play a fearless brand of cricket has been a major factor since their 2015 transformation. He brings a lot of positive energy to the group which is also visible in the performances in the field.

The rapid rise of players like Chris Woakes, Alex Hales, and Tom Curran is a testament to this habit.

The power-hitting batting machine was made possible only because Morgan asked his batsmen to play their natural game without fearing for their place in the side. Even after the disappointing loss to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy, he emphasized on this theory of attacking continuously which reaped their rewards during the Australian ODI series.
