5 Englishmen to look at in the upcoming Australia vs England ODI series

​

It was a disappointing performance from England in the Ashes

After a disappointing test series Down Under, England will be looking to bounce back strongly in the upcoming ODI series against the Australians. England ODI specialists like Alex Hales, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, Jos Buttler, etc. will all be in action from Sunday and will look to deliver the goods for their team.

England Captain Eoin Morgan will want to leave no stone unturned to clinch the series against the mighty Australians. On the other side, Australia will surely be looking to improve their ODI cricket performances as the ICC Cricket World Cup is now just 18 months away. These two powerful teams will lock horns with each other in the first match of the series in Melbourne on 14 January 2018.

Here we look at five English cricketers who will have to shoulder the responsibility for their team in the ODI series.

#1 Joe Root

Joe Root had a tremendous outing with the bat in 2017

After a shocking test series as a captain, Joe Root has an ample opportunity to put his Ashes woes behind in the ODI series. He smashed 983 runs at an impressive average of 70.21 in 2017 and will look to add to that tally in this year as well.

An impressive career average of 50 justifies the talent and skills he possesses. His batting partnership with Captain Eoin Morgan in the middle overs may decide the fate of the matches in these ODI series.
