Morgan Wants Test Place Back

Eoin Morgan has expressed his desire to win back his test place in the England Cricket Team, having lost it during the winter, due to a poor run of scores in the sub continent....

England lost 3-0 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi at the start of the year, and Morgan became the fall guy for that poor display, averaging just over 13 in the series before he fell fould of the axe.

Now, after returning from the IPL, he has once again started to destroy county sides again for his Middlesex side, and wants another crack at the longest form of the game.

He told Sporting Life "After I missed out on Sri Lanka it was a blow to go from playing to not being involved in the squad whatsoever. The time I spent away gave me time to cool off, reassess and move on,"

Morgan continued. "I still see myself as a long way off (the Test team). The reality of it is that Jonny Bairstow holds the number six batting position at the moment. "Competing for it are myself, Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel and whoever has been doing well in county cricket."

"If you look at my path into international cricket it has gone from playing Twenty20s to ODIs and from those opportunities I have challenged for a Test position. "I see any innings at all as being exposure, a chance to go out and show people what I can do."

"Since I have come back from the IPL I have done okay. I have scored some runs in the Championship and I scored a 50-ball hundred a week and a half ago. "I feel good but it is a matter of getting runs under my belt and pushing for a position."
