England's future is looking rosy: Captain Morgan

Touring skipper believes bright things are on the horizon ahead of their forthcoming South Africa tour and next year's T20 World Cup.

Eoin Morgan insists his young and talented England squad has a very bright future in white-ball cricket following their first-ever Twenty20 (T20) whitewash against Pakistan.
Chris Jordan's heroic bowling at the death saw the tourists squeeze home to a slender super-over success after the two teams both finished on 154 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium here late on Monday night.
That win wrapped up the series 3-0 and, coming hot on the heels of their prior 3-1 triumph in one-day internationals (ODIs), skipper Morgan is adamant his men are still to unearth their full potential collectively ahead of the upcoming tour of South Africa and next year's T20 World Cup over in India.
"I don't think we've produced a complete performance throughout both series," the Middlesex left-handed batsman, 29, admitted.
"We've had two perfect individual performances - CJ's (Jordan's) over today (Monday) and Jos' (Buttler) hundred in Dubai. They are displays that, at a World Cup, can change the event within the side.
"I know there's more to come in the changing room and we'd probably like to see it sooner rather than later.
"The development in the side long term is looking really bright at the moment. I certainly believe we're capable of anything (at the T20 World Cup). I've seen stranger things happen."
Meanwhile, Pakistan coach Waqar Younis was gracious in defeat and praised England's players for their youthful vigour, while also facing up to the apparent shortcomings of his own playing personnel.
"They were fitter and younger than us and that makes the difference," Waqar admitted.
"Our performances have been pretty ordinary and pretty poor. It's about the youth for me moving forward as you have to keep bringing through the youngsters.
"If you look at the England side, they're a very young and vibrant team, so that's where we're lacking.
"Credit must be given to England. They came back hard and played some fantastic cricket after losing the Test series and they have shown us that they're a very fine one-day and T20 team."
In the match itself, Pakistan recovered from 11-3 and then 65-5 to close in on England's initial tally (154-8) thanks primarily to Shoaib Malik's blustery half-century.
Nonetheless, with the hosts needing just two off as many balls in the final over, Malik (75) went the aerial route with the penultimate delivery and paid the price for it to leave Anwar Ali and Sohail Tanvir to scramble a single thereafter and force a tie.
Earlier, solid knocks from James Vince (46), Joe Root (32) and Chris Woakes (37) salvaged England's innings after two of their top four batsmen - Jason Roy (0) and Moeen Ali (0) - suffered first-ball ducks.
