Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Morgan described Englands recent performances in white-ball cricket as mind-blowing.
Some of the cricket has been mind-blowing and thats full credit to the team, he said.
Weve tried to play in a certain way since 2015 and push the boundaries. We aspire to be the best versions of ourselves we can possibly be.
And it has worked, particularly with the batting. The bowling has progressed a lot over the last 18 months as well. Hopefully we can keep the momentum up until the World Cup.
