Eoin Morgan takes charge as Twenty20 vice-captain for England – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 title in the next summer.
In its drastic approach, the England Cricket Board (ECB) has recently appointed a different skipper for each of the three formats of the game. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 is to retain his
Test captaincy.
The name of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 last month.
The appointment of Morgan is another point of concern for analysts who have already been criticising the English board's decision to put the inexperienced and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Young-c98322 Broad at the helm of a significant duty.
As both Morgan and Broad do not have previous experience as leaders, many believe that they will not be able to perform their roles well. Both 24-year-olds have never led any side in domestic or international cricket.
However, the ECB and the English players have full confidence on the duo and they are sure that the pair will perk up the standard of limited overs cricket in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749.
The first major challenge for Morgan will be to play in a T20 clash against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 at Bristol, on June 25, 2011. If Broad does not recover from his knee injury, Morgan will have to lead the side in the game.
The next target for him will be to help the skipper in preparing the squad for the upcoming home series against World Champions, India.
However, the real test for the captain and the vice-captain will be Twenty20 World Cup next year.
The 24-year-old left-handed batsman has played 9 Tests, 64 ODIs and 16 T20Is so far with 424, 2024 and 473 runs respectively in the three versions of the game.
Morgan made his international debut in 2006 with an ODI. The batsman played his maiden T20I on June 5, 2009 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753.
He has 78 domestic T20 games to his credit and it has made him a good choice for the vice-captaincy role.
