Jacks hit a superb 84 as he and centurion Harry Brook led the hosts to a rain-affected win in Durham.
“We’re very happy with the win and I’m very pleased for Harry as well,” Jacks mentioned on Wednesday.
“He’s openly said he’s struggled to find the right tempo in 50-over cricket but that was the perfect innings. We’re growing together as a team and this is a good stepping stone in that.”
With out seasoned campaigners like Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali in England’s squad, they’re counting on a brand new era to hold the torch. However many are missing expertise in enjoying 50-over cricket, with T20 and The Hundred the dominant the shorter codecs domestically.
Neither Jacks nor Brook have featured in county cricket’s 50-over One-Day Cup since 2019.
“With the lack of 50-over cricket that we play now, finding that tempo can be difficult,” Jacks added.
“Of course it is difficult. The schedule only allows what it allows and that’s for people above us [to determine]. We just go where we’re told.
“I believe whenever you’re main as much as a significant occasion, you’re going to play extra, however with the best way TV is… no, that is out of our management.
“This is our first time together as a squad, so it’s going to take time to get there but we’re progressing every game and hopefully when we come back next time we’ll be one step further along.”
Regardless of his lack of miles on the clock – simply 32 Checklist A appearances within the six years since making his debut – Jacks has proven a liking for the one-day area.
Tuesday’s knock was his fourth half-century in 10 ODIs and his second in every week in his new place at quantity three.
That slot has belonged to Root for many of the previous decade and the nation’s document century-maker – rested forward of the Check tour of Pakistan in October – is predicted to ultimately reclaim the place in time for the Champions Trophy in February.
“Who knows what’s going to happen there?” Jacks mentioned. “Rooty is England’s best ever batter in 50-over cricket. You can’t say any more about what he does.
“What might be, might be. I simply should attempt to win video games after I can. This one was good and I might prefer to have a number of extra of these.
“We’re all just trying to win games, do as well as we can on any given day. For me it’s just giving it everything I can.
