Young players can inspire England says Morgan

The exciting crop of young players coming through has freshened up the environment ahead of England's ODI series with Australia. With all to play for - including a 2015 World Cup place - Eoin Morgan said the guys are in an excited mood and ready to get out there at the MCG this Sunday.

Morgan: Yeah, the guys are good.

We've had 6 or 7 fresh new faces come into the side who have brought a lot of energy, including myself...

and guys who are chomping at the bit to get involved who have had a bit of time off and sort of young guys

coming through that are keen as I said to score runs and take wickets...so...again it's a lot of guys

excited to get ths series started, so yeah.

I mean if we look at the last one-day series the opportunities that came about...

it was the sort of rise of a Ben Stokes and a Boyd Rankin and a Chris Jordan,

which is magnificent they sort of grabbed great opportunities with both hands

with the bat and ball which is great to see really in sort of preparation building for a World Cup in 2015

it's really exciting and certainly looking at the Ashes, the excitement over the last year and the rivalry

and the passion that's been with the two sides has certainly sparked that again I'd love to

play Ashes Cricket.

I think there's about 400 days before the World Cup starts and it starts here in Melbourne

so it's really exciting that the stuff that we build and the platform that we build while we're here during

this series is really important. It's important that we learn from any mistakes that we do make and again

that we build confidence down this side of the world.

Morgan: There is in the fact that the young guys are coming through and the opportunities are

arising but I think with the hectic nature of the past 12 months we've had with Test cricket

it's sort of the nature that a couple of one-day series guys have been rested here and there,

and again it's created this opportunity, so it's fantastic for the squad, that guys who are

coming in and doing well and it allows us to sort of build a great base because we will be able to take

15 to a World Cup and I mean it's going to be a tight squeeze picking 15 cricketers because we

could potentially take 20...so it does create opportunities, particularly for the young

guys coming through yeah.

I repeat the last series that we played, we played against a very formidable Australian side

as an inexperienced side that we put out and we certainly put up a good fight

and we were disappointed not to win that series so looking towards the 2015 World Cup

it's a long time and we'll play a lot of cricket between now and then but certainly we've got a good platform

with the group of players that we do have.
