http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 wants to regain his Test spot – Cricket News Update
England's Eoin Morgan is working hard to regain his place in the Test team but understands that he is facing stiff competition by some quality middle-order batsmen.
The stylish left-hander was dropped from the Test team after a disastrous series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE), where the Poms were whitewashed in the three-match competition.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691 troubled the aggressive batsman on the turning tracks.
The 25-year-old expressed that he was extremely disappointed at being excluded from the Test squad but claims that he regathered his confidence during the off-season.
"After I missed out on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 it was a blow to go from playing to not being involved in the squad whatsoever. The time I spent away gave me time to cool off, reassess and move on," Morgan said.
The left-hander, who represented Ireland in the past, has so far played 16 Tests for his adopted country and has scored two hundreds and three half-centuries. There is no doubt about his potential as a world-class player but Morgan has so far failed to live
up to expectations in the longer version of the sport.
However, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012, which will be held in Sri Lanka in September/October.
The young right-handed batsman, Jonny Bairstow, made his Test debut in the recently concluded series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707 thinks that it is not easy for him to return to the Test team.
The left-hander said, "I still see myself as a long way off (the Test team). The reality of it is that Jonny Bairstow holds the number six batting position at the moment. Competing for it are myself, Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel and whoever has been doing well
in county cricket."
England’s next Test assignment is against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, in the all-important series, which will commence next month.
