England’s tour of South Africa: What has been said?
Jonny Bairstow has said England’s strength in depth in white ball cricket is scary as they face South Africa.
“It’s a very fortunate place to be in with England as a white ball team,” Bairstow told talkSPORT.
“You’ve got [Chris[ Woakes and [Joe] Root not in the T20 squad currently but they are an integral parts of the ODI team.
“It’s amazing and each day when you are at training you are watching people and saying ‘oh, that’s good’. Or someone could be watching you and saying ‘jeez, how did you do that?’
“Continuously developing and learning off each other is part of it.”
