Morgan named in ODI squad despite broken finger
EOIN MORGAN confirmed yesterday he will be ready to captain England in their upcoming one-day internationals against Scotland and Australia despite a broken finger.
Morgan has had to pull out of captaining the World XI in today’s Twenty20 clash with the West Indies at Lord’s — but will be ready when England start their ODI schedule against Scotland on June 10.
The England skipper was named in a 13-man squad to face Scotland and also a 14-strong line-up for the five clashes with Australia, which start at The Oval on June 13.
