Moeen Ali believes the competition for places in England's squad has inspired their series-winning performance against Australia.
England have won all of the opening three ODI's, and will be hoping to continue their impressive form in Adelaide as they aim to secure an historic whitewash Down Under.
The visitors will be forced to make a change ahead of the third ODI after Liam Plunkett suffered a hamstring injury in Sydney, leaving Tom Curran and David Willey primed for a recall.
However, Alli believes that with the motivation of securing the first 5-0 result on Australian turf there will be no desire among the players to rest or rotate.
"Everyone is keen to make history here, 3-0 up is a great position and everyone is keen to be on the park, to keep playing the way we're playing," he said.
"We've got some brilliant players who can't get into the team and you don't want to give your spot up. You want to be part of this team.
"The guys who are not in are training so hard to try and get in but at the moment, the way we're playing, everyone is doing something on the field and it's hard to get in.
"You see the guys who aren't in - obviously Ben Stokes, who hopefully is going to come back into the team and make it even stronger, players like Sam Billings and Tom Curran who are terrific white-ball players and can't get into
the team and that shows where we are at the moment."
Alli will step aside for England's Twenty20 tri-series after being involved in the test and ODI series' and the all-rounder admits that although it will be tough to miss out he is looking forward to returning home to his family.
"We did that a couple of years ago, where Jimmy (Anderson) and Broady (Stuart Broad) stopped playing white-ball cricket," he said.
"We've got bowlers now who are fresh when they come into these teams. After the Ashes series we had Mark Wood and Liam Plunkett, who are guys that bowl fast.
"When you've played the Ashes and lost and those fresh faces come in to lift the dressing room the environment is completely different.
"I'm going to miss being around for those two weeks and playing the T20s but it's been a long time. I'm not looking forward to the cold but I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing the family for a couple of weeks."
