WHITE ON TRACK

ENGLAND'S latest white-ball reset may have got off to a false start.

But Joe Root sees parallels between now and the early stages of Eoin Morgan's revolutionary overhaul of the ODI and T20 teams.

A decade on from Morgan's first engagement as captain ending in the 2015 World Cup debacle, Brendon McCullum (inset) began his reign as limited-overs head coach with a 4-1 T20 series defeat to India.

Morgan's messaging of playing fearlessly led to England's resurgence - culminating in their 2019 World Cup triumph.

It came in a four-year spell where Root amassed a dozen ODI centuries with an average close to 60.
