Eoin Morgan led England to their first 50-over World Cup title in 2019, but he hasn’t scored a half-century in one-day internationals or Twenty20s in nearly a year.
White-ball captain Eoin Morgan has received support from Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes. Who have describe him as a “phenomenal leader. ” Morgan captain England to their first 50-over World Cup title in 2019, but he has not scored a half-century in ODIs or Twenty20s in nearly a year. The batter had two consecutive ducks against the Netherlands and ruled out of Wednesday’s game due to a tight groin. Which England won by eight wickets to complete a 3-0 ODI clean sweep.
His absence deemed ‘precautionary.’ Even if Morgan’s form and fitness issues persist. Jos Buttler, who stood in as skipper for the final match against the Netherlands, insisted Morgan has his team’s support.
“From within the camp, there is no doubt about his position. What he has accomplished defies description. Everyone always talks about his captaincy, but it’s easy to forget what a brilliant batsman he has been for England in over 200 ODIs – that doesn’t go away overnight. Everyone on the team is rooting for him “Buttler was quoted by Sky Sports as saying.

Ben Stokes, the Test captain, defended his white-ball counterpart as well.
“He’s only had two low scores, so I wouldn’t say he’s having a hard time right now. I believe the press is the only one criticizing him. I believe the players have demonstrated that it is not an issue for them “he said.
“People are allowed to not score many runs, and he is also our captain. He is and always will be a fantastic leader, so I have no concerns about anything going on with him right now “He continued.
Another subplot of this Netherlands series has been the form of Jos Buttler, who finished as England’s joint top scorer with Phil Salt with 248 runs.
Buttler was at his best in the series finale, scoring an unbeaten 86 off 64 balls.
This year, he was named the most valuable player in the Indian Premier League. He smashed 162 not out in Friday’s record-breaking opener and finished the series with 19 sixes after clearing the rope five times in the final ODI.
When asked if he was in the best shape of his life, Buttler replied. ” I would have to say yes. ” ” Personally, having a tournament like that was incredibly special for me, and I surprised myself. What I think is important for us in white-ball cricket in England is that we talk about playing in a certain way. We must try to live up to that. Of course, there is some risk involved in that style of play, but it is what we expect of everyone “He continued.
Buttler’s excellent form raises the prospect of a Test return under Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, just a few months after a dismal Ashes series in which he averaged 15.28.
“I’ve had no discussions about it with anyone. I’m content with where I’m at the moment. It may never be a question that needs to be answered “he said.
