Eoin Morgan must perform in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012, says Alec Stewart – Cricket News Update
England’s former captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Under Paul Collingwood’s leadership, England clinched the trophy in 2010 in the Caribbean, having played exceptionally well throughout the tournament. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 was at his sublime best, winning the Player of the Tournament award.
The hard-hitting right-hander is not a part of the current England squad because of the recent differences he has had with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), putting more responsibility on Morgan, who is one of the most senior players in the team
now.
"If they are to stand a chance of defending their trophy, the one player who really needs to start delivering is Eoin Morgan," said Stewart while talking to BCC Sports.
The Ireland-born cricketer is one of the most dangerous limited-over batsmen in the present-day sport, with his ability to strike the ball hard. The left-handed middle-order batsman has already played a number of match-winning knocks for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in his not
so long international career.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707 is a game-changer, having the ability to make a serious impact on a match.
"I am a huge Morgan fan. He has been there and done it before and is a superb player under pressure," the former wicketkeeper/batsman said. "He is an opposition captain's nightmare because he can score 360 degrees around the ground and you feel you need
12 or 13 fielders to cover all his scoring options."
Most of the batsmen in England’s T20 squad like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Butler-c48850 and Jonny Bairstow do not have enough international experience, which in the former captain’s opinion, puts additional responsibility on Morgan’s shoulders.
The 26-year-old batsman has a highest of 27 in 2012 and Stewart wants him to regain his form before it is too late for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 and company.
"England need him to fire because very few of the other batsmen have as much experience on the big stage," the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 cricketer added.
