Eoin Morgan believes debutant Mason Crane demonstrated he could develop into a long-term prospect for England as he made his bow in the nine-wicket T20 victory against South Africa.

Crane, 20, played his part and was tricky on his debut. Asked how the youngster had fared, Morgan replied: "Really well. We know he has the potential, he has proved that at county level. It is about bringing that to international level and having the mindset to stay in the moment.
