Hard hitting England middle order batsman Eoin Morgan has been warned that he needs to work hard if he is to earn a recall into the England national team after he was left out of the 16 man squad announced for the tour of Sri Lanka. Morgan has been going through an extremely bad phase in his cricketing career and the last tour of the United Arab Emirates where the England team played Pakistan in three Test matches and four One Day Internationals saw him top score with just 31 runs and his total aggregate score in 17 innings during the entire series was a measly 199 runs.
The England team management has given the spot to Samit Patel, who will battle for his spot in the Test arena with Ravi Bopara. The decision to drop Eoin Morgan from the side was taken unanimously by the selectors of the England and Wales Cricket Board and Andy Flower, the coach of the England team.
Flower has also gone on to challenge Morgan to improve his technique if he wants to have a future playing Test cricket for England and he has also asked Morgan to reconsider his decision of playing in the cash rich Indian Premier League rather than playing in the English County Championships. Morgan is going to miss the first five games of the County Championship for the Middlesex Panthers if he is going to honor his $ 350,000 contract with the IPL franchise the Kolkata Knight Riders.
However, according to Andy Flower, Eoin Morgan has it in him to recover from this slump and make it back to the England set up but he also reiterated that in order to do that, he must prove himself in the County Championships and not in the Indian Premier League of 2012.

England may have suffered one of its worst Test series defeats in recent memory and middle order batsman Eoin Morgan knows that the only way to make it right is by whitewashing the star studded Pakistan One Day International side in the 4 match series after already going 1-0 up with a scintillating display to win the first match by 130 runs. Morgan, who has been struggling with injuries for quite some time has recently made it clear that he wishes to dispel the clouds of speculation about the future of the England Cricket team as the top team in the world after being whitewashed by the mediocre Pakistan side.
Although the team has won only the first match and Morgan knows that a lot can happen between now and the end of the series, because cricket is a game that cannot be predictable at all, he is still sure that the English side has enough fire power to dispel the mighty Pakistan side with ease.
Eoin Morgan is also looking forward to making himself a regular in the side after being out of the team for some time due to injuries that he has been struggling with over the last few years. He said that he enjoys the competition for the middle order slot with Essex batsman Ravi Bopara saying that it is healthy and is for the betterment of the side that the player on form gets picked.
Eoin Morgan, who had sustained a shoulder injury while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League in 2011 has been in and out of the side since then but he doesn’t want to be a bit part player anymore and is looking forward to establishing himself as the middle order hope of the England Cricket Team.
