Eoin Morgan: 'England have fallen behind in limited-overs cricket'

Eoin Morgan believes that England have "fallen behind by a long way" in limited-overs cricket as a new-look squad prepares to meet New Zealand.

Eoin Morgan has conceded that England have "fallen behind by a long way" in limited-overs cricket ahead of the one-day international series with New Zealand.

Criticism of England's approach reached new heights when they crashed out of the World Cup at the group stage earlier this year, and Morgan is hopeful that a team which includes the likes of Jason Roy, Alex Hales and James Taylor can succeed with attacking tactics.

"We want to be unclouded in the way that we play and put opposition sides under pressure as much as we can," the captain told reporters.

"For a long time now, we've been behind the eight-ball in one-day cricket and we've fallen behind by a long way, and it's time for a catch-up.

"It still might take a little bit of time but certainly I can get my views across, things can be a lot clearer and I'll certainly be involved in selection so I've got the squad that I've wanted."

The opening game of the five-match series takes place at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
