Men's ODI WC: 'Something Within England Team Is Definitely Unsettled', Says Eoin Morgan
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Former England World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has raised concerns over Joss Buttler-led side's morale and confidence ahead of Sunday's ICC Men's ODI World Cup match against hosts India, saying "there's something within the team that is definitely unsettled."
The defending champions were thrashed by nine wickets in their tournament opener against New Zealand, beat Bangladesh in their second match but have since been shocked by Afghanistan and hammered by a record margin by South Africa followed by a disappointing loss to Sri Lanka in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup which all but ends the team's title defence, as they struggling at the bottom of the standings with just one win in five outings.
"I've never come across a sports team that has underperformed like this England team, given the level of expectation that is on their shoulders. There's something within the team that is definitely unsettled," Morgan said on Sky Sports ahead of India clash.
