Nasser Hussain: 'County cricket break was vital for Eoin Morgan'

Nasser Hussain believes that getting away from county cricket was a vital step in Eoin Morgan's resurgence in form for England in their one-day internationals.

Nasser Hussain has suggested that the break Eoin Morgan took from county cricket has proven hugely beneficial for his form in the one-day game for England.

The Three Lions skipper scored a match-winning knock of 92 to guide his side to victory over Australia in the fourth one-day international at Headingley, levelling the series at 2-2 going into the final match on Sunday.

"Morgan was averaging 10 for Middlesex in the County Championship," Hussain told Sky Sports News. "He would have liked a hundred but it took a brilliant catch by Glenn Maxwell to dismiss him.

"With the county schedule is the way it is, you are constantly playing and that means you can make yourself worse and worse while your brain is getting more and more scrambled if you are not careful.

"Sometimes the best thing is to say 'enough, give me a break and I will come back refreshed' and that's what he's done and he's got important runs and match-winning runs."

The final ODI of the series takes place at Old Trafford on Sunday.
