Refreshed England aiming to continue the ODI revolution in series against Australia

England rebranded their limited-overs game dramatically since they were last on these shores, the abject 2015 World Cup campaign which exposed some outdated ideas and became a watershed moment for the team.

England's cricket selectors refrained Wednesday from a radical shakeup of the test squad despite a 4-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia.

Taylor expects Moeen Ali to have "more of an impact" in the one-day series, following a torrid Ashes with bat and ball. It's still the toughest part of the game, and the format you get the most pleasure from succeeding in.

However, after sitting out England's warm-up match victory over a Cricket Australia XI on Thursday, Root appears to have overcome the bug and is ready to return for the day-nighter in Melbourne.

England coach Trevor Bayliss was criticised following another Test series defeat, but this series provides a timely opportunity for England's one-day side to continue the progress made during his time in charge. They're good one-day bowlers and a good one-day outfit so it's a good challenge.

Although he retains the support of the players and the England and Wales Cricket Board, which has ruled out the sort of witch-hunt that followed the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash, there are those who believe that he should go now, or, at the very least, could yet go soon.

From an Australia perspective, the build-up to the series has been dominated by debate over a player not in the team.

It's one of those things where I feel like our fan base has been gearing up all year, and the closer we get, the louder they get. Foles was awfully shaky in place of the injured Carson Wentz and the team fumbled four times , losing two of them.

Smith reiterated that a sub-par form at the worldwide level is the reason behind Maxwell's axing.

"Whatever's been thrown at me, I feel like I'm confident enough to play my shots, no matter what the standard", Harvey said.

Modern 50-over cricket dictates that scoring at a-run-a-ball is a must and England have eclipsed their opponents in that vein over the past 12 months.

Smith said the meeting would "remain private" and maintained Maxwell's underperforming recent record at the global level was behind his controversial axing.

Maxwell, who averages 32 with the bat and nearly 39 with the ball, was again overlooked for 34-year-old Cameron White when Chris Lynn was forced out through injury.

The pace trio of Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood, who took 66 wickets between them in the Ashes, are likely to provide England's sternest test.
