Eoin Morgan Eoin Morgan will miss the ODI series in India with shoulder surgery
Cricket fans in India have been robbed of the opportunity to watch the young exciting talent in action as Eoin Morgan, who has unconventionally endorsed the IPL, will not feature in the India England ODI series in India either.
Eoin Morgan, whose talents have also been rated highly by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, is missing in action in the ongoing India England ODI series in England although he did feature in the one off Twenty20 match. But that is when the damage is reported to have occurred that will now render Morgan available for England’s return tour of India next month for the ODI series.
England have drawn a lot of excitement over the English summer not only over their results but also, because of the young talent available and their exuberance spilling over in the results as well. Morgan leads the pack in many ways and that he has transitioned into the Test team is also being looked upon as the future of England cricket.
Morgan was one of the few England cricketers that have not only played the IPL but also, attributed their personal success through the participation. Morgan happens to be that small percentage of England cricketers such as Kevin Pietersen who have actually endorsed the IPL as the necessary part of their cricket career with Morgan even stating that the IPL has helped him establish a foothold in the England cricket team. A young dynamic cricketer, Morgan was poached from the Ireland team by England and is clearly the face of the generation next of England cricket.
However, Morgan is already seeing his cricket career affected by injuries. Morgan’s injury during the Twenty20 match was reportedly the recurrence of a shoulder injury he suffered during the Ashes down under. Although England went onto win the Ashes back to back, Morgan has been allegedly nursing the injury to the point where it has come back to haunt him. The grave nature of the injury is such that the surgery that Morgan will now undergo on the shoulder will rule him out of action until the start of 2012 which means for the rest of the year, Morgan will not been playing for England on the cricket field.
That ruling out of action for four months also means that for the immediate time, Indian cricket fans will not get to see Morgan even during the England tour of India after the Champions League Twenty20 2011 when they will play an ODI series in India. Morgan who would have familiarized himself with some of the cricket fans in India as a result of the brief IPL stint will now have to simply wait it out. England though do not appear short of the young talent they want to try out in a bid to establish them in the one day team captained by Alistair Cook with the likes of Jade Dernbach and Ben Stokes, who could well make the trip to India if England persist with the plans they are revealing in England during the ODI series at the moment.
