England World Cup captain Eoin Morgan has often talked about how his hurling background helped him develop into a top-class cricketer, so it’s only natural that some others are intrigued about the benefits of trading willow for ash.

English county side Sussex invited hurley makers Torpey along to a training session last week to see if their players could glean any of the magic dust that has seen Morgan become one of the most innovative batsmen in world cricket.

Not surprisingly, it looks like some of them picked it up quite well.
