Eoin Morgan has come under immense scrutiny in recent times over his poor form, but the England limited-overs captain feels that he can still help his team win a World Cup. The 2022 T20 World Cup is set to be played in Australia later this year and then England will launch their defence of the 50-over World Cup next year in India. Morgan said that he is not looking as far ahead as the 2023 World Cup and is more focused right now on the T20 World Cup in October-November.

Wasim Jaffer has said that the wicketkeeper-batter has not been able to replicate his Tests' success in the shortest format of the game and the left-hander is not a certainty in the Indian side going forward. The 24-year old Pant is leading India in the ongoing 5-match T20I series against South Africa. He was named the captain after KL Rahul, who was initially picked as the skipper, was ruled out of the series due to a groin injury.
Commonwealth Games, India would look to utilise their final 2021-2022 FIH Pro League tie against the Netherlands, starting here on Saturday, to address the grey areas.
