KKR batting order has been a guessing game for many with new coach Brendon McCullum insisting on left-hand right-hand combinations at all time, resulting in the reshuffling of the batting line-up

Coming in to bat at No.6, Morgan hit an 18-ball 44 to conjure up hopes of a successful run-chase before KKR fell short by 18 runs against Delhi Capitals' total of 228 on Saturday.

Shubman Gill stepped up for KKR in their second match against SRH, as he remained unbeaten on 70 to guide the side to a seven-wicket win.

The former Indian opener says it’s difficult to drop an Indian player as your captain in an Indian Premier League team.

The England batsman hopes the green top pitches in the UAE will allow him to adapt early as he is available for the tie against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday.

Morgan and the two others will have to complete the mandatory quarantine period in the UAE to join the KKR squad in the practice nets although CEO Venky Mysore had assured that they will be part of the opener. 

Eoin Morgan will be joining the side after leading England to their maiden World Cup glory in 2019 and Nitish Rana, who led Delhi at domestic level, is excited to play alongside him.

England captain Eoin Morgan said bringing Woakes and Archer back into the attack dramatically swung the game in the home team's favour.

KKR will take on defending champions Mumbai Indians on September 23. The 13th edition of the cash-rich league is taking place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as it had to be moved out of India due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Morgan, in 49 matches leading into the Southampton game on Wednesday, has lead England to 26 wins which is the joint fifth-most among T20I skippers

England's wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler will open the innings alongside Jonny Bairstow in the T20I series against Australia.

Moeen Ali thanked captain Eoin Morgan for keeping faith in him, after he returned to runscoring with a 33-ball 61 during the third T20I against Pakistan on Tuesday.

Morgan hit 66 from just 33 balls at the Old Trafford on Sunday as England chased down 196 against England with five wickets in hand to move 1-0 up in the ongoing three-match T20I series.

Pakistan scored a challenging 195-4 after losing the toss at Old Trafford before England finished on 199-5 in 19.1 overs.

This time, the franchise has brought back the England limited-overs skipper Morgan, who played for the KKR from 2011 to 2013, as the team's vice-captain.

Set a target of 329 — the same score they finished on to beat England at the 2011 World Cup — the Irish laid the foundations with a 214-run stand between Stirling and captain Balbirnie in the last match of the series.

Morgan achieved the feat en route to his 47th ODI fifty against Ireland at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton during the third ODI match of the series. 

England are playing against Ireland with a side that has none of the players from the Test team that played the West Indies in a three-Test series in July.

Morgan said he pushed chairman of England and Wales Cricket Board's Cricket Committee, Andrew Strauss to take the decision because he felt the pressure associated with a world event can only be matched by the cash-rich IPL.

It will be a young England side led by Morgan which will take on Ireland with many first team stars like Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jofra Archer rested after the West Indies Test series.
