Morgan: Competition for places is fierce
20 / Jul / 2010

England batsman Eoin Morgan insists he can make the transition from the shorter game to become a Test match star.

 

Morgan, named player of the series in the recent one-day series victory over Australia, is considered a contender for a place in England's Ashes squad following the foot injury to Ian Bell.

An innings of 103 off 85 balls in the opening game against the Australians has put him firmly in the frame and two successful tests against Bangladesh have earmarked him for a place in the Ashes squad.

"If it comes then I will look forward to it," said Morgan.

Morgan - not just another limited-overs specialist.
