Test cricket remains my ultimate priority, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 – Cricket News Update – Part One
Eoin Morgan, the England left-handed batsman, has expressed that Test cricket remains the game’s pinnacle and claimed that he can sacrifice on other formats of the sport to represent his adopted country in five-day cricket.
The 25-year-old cricketer is considered to be one of the best middle-order batsmen in the world in limited-over cricket and has been a true match-winner for the Poms over the years.
The left-hander is one of the very few English cricketers who took part in the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), having been dropped from the Test team after a poor series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE),
where he failed to cope with high-quality spinners like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdur-Rehman-c41691.
The Ireland-born cricketer revealed that he has not lost hopes of returning to the Test side because playing the game’s longer version was his ambition when he decided to permanently move to England.

"The bigger picture for me is playing Test cricket," he said. "As a 15-year-old I came across to England to play Test cricket. It's always been my priority. I've had a little sniff of it and I've absolutely loved it."
The aggressive batsman, who has two Test centuries and three fifties under his belt, has been a part of England’s success in international cricket over the last four years. In 2011, Andrew Strauss’ men became the world’s number one
ranked Test side, only to be dethroned this year, after being thrashed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Middlesex-c817 cricketer thinks there is nothing like enjoying success at the ultimate level and playing the Ashes, which is considered to be one of the most prestigious cricket events.
“I was in the side when we became No. 1 and I was on the Ashes tour as a spare batter. Nothing can ever come close to the stuff you experience as a winning Test-match side. If it came about that I was back in the Test team during
the IPL I'd be the happiest bloke in the world," Morgan expressed.
