Eoin Morgan Reveals His Favourite League in the World

Eoin Morgan, the limited-overs skipper for England Cricket team named the T10 league as the best franchise-based cricket league in the world. Meanwhile, the International Cricket Council has recently sanctioned the event which started their journey in 2017 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The left-handed batsman recently appeared in an interview by ESPNcricinfo, where he had to answer 25 questions. The questions varied from different topics ranging from his favourite Irish meal, the worst singer in the side, the sportsman he’d have loved to have met, and more. Moreover, the interviewer also asked Eoin Morgan, who has played cricket across the globe, about his favourite league in the world. The English skipper without any hesitation named T10 league as his personal best, thus snubbing top leagues like Big Bash League and Indian Premier League.

T10 league is my favourite

The T10, meanwhile, is gaining mileage now, two years from his invention now. The matches are of 10-over-a-side, and the duration of a game is 90 minutes. Maximums are unique hit in this game counting for 12 runs. The tournament is a round robin, and the top four teams progress to the semi-finals followed by the finals. Eoin Morgan features for the Kerala Knights in the league and were the inaugural champions of the league. He led the team from the front with some blistering hitting and also grabbed the headlines in the second season despite his side not making through to the semifinals.

England to begin their T20 campaign

The top-ranked ODI side will desperately want to return home with something in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Windies. They have had a horrible tour so far losing the Test series and then managing to draw the ODI series after taking an early lead. However, their main aim is the upcoming World Cup in their country as they look to lift the first trophy.

England have already reinforced that by resting Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, their two gun players, with an eye on their workload ahead of the big event. On the other hand, Windies have done it by naming Jason Holder the captain, ahead of regular captain Carlos Brathwaite, to give the ODI squad more time together. For the English side, Dawid Malan has returned to the team -who will look to make a mark for himself.

The first T20I game between England and Windies is on March 5 (Tuesday) at St Lucia.
