Following a remarkable Test series win against India in India (2-1) after 28 years, England are looking to take the momentum forward, entering the 2 match T20 series, starting today in Pune. Leading the side in the shortest format this series, Morgan feels happy to be promoted for the job.
“Being vice-captain of the Twenty20 side in the first place, you're always going to be thrust into a situation where the captain might get injured.

Morgan has led the English team only once in an ODI, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 A and 47 in England’s Performance Programme match.
Retaining only http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 Root from the Test squad for T20 clashes, Morgan feels confident about captaining a fairly young side.
“It's certainly going to be a challenge I'm looking forward to,” said Morgan.
