Will to win after a move down order

WILL Jacks is enjoying a new lease of life down the order for England after being backed by Harry Brook to excel in a role that has proved tricky for others to nail in the past.

Jacks' first bite as a white-ball international was in the top three in ODIs and T20s but he struggled by his own estimation and was out of both sides towards the end of Jos Buttler's time in charge.

However, under Brook, Jacks has been recalled and after being shuffled to number seven, the all-rounder has had two important knocks to help England claim a one-day series win over West Indies.

“I've come into it with a really fresh mindset, which has helped,” Jacks said.

“Having that break, obviously I'd have loved to play every game, but that’s life.

“And I think it’s allowed me to reset.
