Morgan was caught in a storm after his tweets emerged on social media in the wake of Ollie Robinson’s suspension from international cricket for sexist and racist posts on Twitter.
During IPL 2018, Morgan had tweeted:
New Zealand batsman Brendon McCullum replied to him in broken English.
A few days after Robinson’s suspension, a report emerged, claiming the ECB was planning to take action against more English players because of their social media activity.
Speaking to the media before England’s T20I series against Sri Lanka, Eoin Morgan dismissed the ECB’s investigation and said his tweets were taken out of context.
We can’t play players until they fall over: Eoin Morgan defends England’s rotation policy
The ECB has also come under the scanner for its policy of constantly rotating players. Some key players missed out on the away Test series against India, which ultimately impacted England’s chances of qualifying for the WTC Final.
Limited-overs captain Morgan defended the rotation policy and said rest was necessary because England are the busiest team in international cricket.
The series begins tomorrow with a T20I in Cardiff. The tour comprises three T20Is and three ODIs.
