The skipper informed that winning all three warm up games, including two 50-overs match and one T20I against Leicestershire has served as a confidence booster for the visitors.

“You get a morale boost when you win practice matches, and that is the reason that we are enjoying high morale, the players are feeling highly energetic and we got the momentum on our side so we are hopeful to start off the tour on a positive note,” he said.

“Both teams are a pretty good T20 sides, we would try to play good cricket against England and win the match,” he added.
