ECB's managing director, Hugh Morris, believes England's presentation against India is a result of Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss' "exceptional leadership".
Leading 2-0 in the series, England can topple India from the top mark if they win the Edgbaston Test, starting August 10.
"One of the most significant reasons is we have excellent leadership in Flower and Strauss. They've shown a clear direction and vision to the players and organization," Morris told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek' programme.
"A lot of hard work has gone in over the last few years to get us to this position. The short-term goal is to win at Edgbaston and what we've got to try and do is sustain it over a period of time," he added.
Morris said both Flower and Strauss would be significant for the development of English cricket in the coming years.
"Very recently, Andy dedicated his future to England cricket. We always said that after the Ashes and World Cup we would sit down and begin to plot a plan over the next period of time," Morris said.
"He's on a staff-employment agreement, he's got a long-term notice period to that contract and he's very dedicated to the post," he added.
