Cricket News: Eoin Morgan, England’s white-ball captain, is not in the best of form right now. While he had a bad IPL season this year, scoring only 133 runs in 17 games, his performance in the T20 World Cup practise matching further added to his poor form. Morgan, who only batted in double figures once in the UAE edition of IPL 2021, scored 10 runs in his team’s second practise game at the T20 World Cup, which was contested against New Zealand.
Even at the international level, the year has not been kind to the southpaw, who has only mustered 82 runs at an average of 11.71. The statistics obviously do Morgan no honour, as he has played over 100 T20Is for his country, amassing over 2300 runs with a strike rate of 138.25.
Obviously, results determine how well you perform and how frequently you are retained: Morgan
When asked about his future plans, the English captain stated that he hopes to play a “very strong role” in the next T20 World Cup, which will be held in Australia next year. However, he added that his future in world events after the competition is uncertain.
“I can see myself playing a pretty strong role in another T20 World Cup this time next year.” That is the standard I have set for myself. I’m not sure about the other two (tournaments). Obviously, results impact how well you perform and how frequently you are retained. “But my appetite and determination remain as strong as ever,” Morgan remarked, according to the BBC.
Morgan was a member of Paul Collingwood’s winning T20 World Cup playing XI in 2010. He later guided his team to the final of the prestigious event in 2016, when they were defeated by West Indies in the final over. It’s worth mentioning that Morgan led England to their first-ever ODI World Cup title in 2019 when they edged out New Zealand by the tiniest of margins.
