Eoin Morgan has urged young England prospects to use The Hundred as a way to stake a claim for a spot at the upcoming T20 World Cup, pinpointing death bowling as an area England will be looking to strengthen.
Last year, left-arm quick Tymal Mills enjoyed an impressive Hundred for eventual winners Southern Brave and broke into England's T20 World Cup squad and new white-ball coach Matthew Mott has challenged players to use the tournament as a "springboard".
And Morgan believes the T20 World Cup will be a "huge incentive" for players to impress during The Hundred. "It is the closest I have ever played at domestic level to international cricket," he told Sky Sports. "Everyone loves playing it, everyone loves watching it so it bodes really well for another good tournament.
