Eoin Morgan Refuses To Give Assurance Regarding Stokes Place In The Team

Written by Vipin Darwade

England charismatic All-rounder Ben Stokes missed the recent one-day series against Australia with a hamstring injury and has sat out the first two 20 over games against India. He rejoins the squad in Cardiff on Saturday after coming through an innings of 90 in 68 balls playing for Durham on Thursday. However Captain Eoin Morgan is not sure about his place in the playing eleven.

“He comes into the squad for the next game and he is a fantastic player and it will be a difficult decision to make,” Morgan said after the Cardiff win.

“We have made calls like this in the past and we will make the call for the benefit of the team and put out our strongest XI.

“Alex always makes it difficult particularly in T20 cricket. He has played a lot of T20 for us and he is a very experienced campaigner. An innings like that gives him a pretty strong case for the next game.

“He really did play brilliantly. He has played a lot international T20 cricket and he has played a lot around the world. It was a mature innings.
