Eddie Jones has revealed Jonny Bairstow has given his England side a pep talk before their autumn campaign begins against Argentina on Sunday. The cricketer had the players “enthralled” for an hour this week, detailing the highs and lows of a season when he was named Test player of the year before suffering a broken leg while playing golf.
Jones has regularly brought motivational speakers into camp and is a keen cricketer. The England head coach is eager to ensure his players enjoy their down time, saying that while the opportunities for recreational pursuits were obvious on the summer tour of Australia, he has had to get more creative in Bagshot.
