IPL can't dim Ashes rivalry: Morgan
Captain England limited overs says friendships in the IPL formed accepts no heat from Australia-England rivalry
Q: You are one of the few English cricketers who have played in the IPL. Do you think it is crucial to collect these experiences for your country and the plan should be modified to help? Morgan: Over time, I think that we see playing more and more English cricketers in the IPL. Just this year, there were large movements have more players in the tournament to get involved, and not only here, you can also Bash League to look the same in the Big. The likes of David Willey, Michael Carberry, Jos Buttler, so on, and I, we are there involved in franchise cricket. I am also confident that we will have our own franchise-based T20 competition sooner rather than later, and perhaps we can replicate something like the IPL or BBL back in England. Q: Playing in the Big Bash and here in the IPL, you get to share the dressing room with a lot of Australian players. As here at Sunrisers Hyderabad, playing with David Warner and Moises Henriques next and Ben Cutting. It helps soothe Australia-England rivalry? Morgan: This rivalry has more than a century of intensive cricket, since the beginning of the game, in fact, shaped up. It has always been there. So it is not a case of it coming on the construction or, it is there, regardless of what type of cycle, the teams or international cricket is shaping up. It's a rivalry in the past success does not matter. Whether you play in the ash or play against Australia in a World Cup, the stakes are always high.
Q: Talking about the English set-up has in particular been a significant improvement in limited overs cricket, from the lows of 2015 ODI World Cup to the highs of 2016 World T20. Can you shed some light on this? Morgan: It has not been just a short drive, to be honest, but at the same time, it was very exciting. We have got a very young team and with the talent available, the sky is the limit. They are striving all the time to learn and improve, constantly trying to take a chance, they are given to push the best teams in the world. And the change of mindset is not only among the players but also the coaching staff. Particularly Trevor Bayliss, who has helped the implement. It has been simply it is unbelievable and hopefully just the beginning. Q: The World T20 was obviously a highlight. How would you look back at this tournament? Morgan: It was a very good tournament for us and is probably the highlight of the trip of the last 12 months or so. What we have learned in recent ups and downs and also in this tournament, will hold us in good stead down the line. Some of the games we have played to really test, especially in the group stage. Trying to get out of the group stage in a T20 tournament can be very difficult, and then we performed thereafter, the shape. We were clinically in the semifinal against New Zealand and while we were doing well in Kolkata, we are not doing enough to win the final. But that's life. Q: How about these four successive sixes in the final? Morgan: Let during this World T20 only tell me that no one can hit the ball as Carlos Brathwaite did. And how to beat in a tournament final four sixes in a row is quite an achievement. Q: On the Sunrisers Hyderabad; The team started off slowly, but have now picked up pace. As you would see in the season so far?
Morgan: We loved the brand slowly, but then were able to score three consecutive victories we, so it was good so far. There was a little momentum us. There were odd hiccup, but we were able to overcome these problems, especially on tracks. We look forward to a run of home games now, under conditions that we understand. It should get us a few more wins, and we should look good for the playoffs after.
Q: You have with Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders before participating. So what does your key takeaway from the Indian Premier League? Morgan: Every year is a different experience. At the beginning of my career, when I came to Bangalore for the first time with the IPL, it was more about the passion and culture of cricket that is played in India. have The more I played here it was about of being an overseas player to play under pressure. You're just a four permits in the eleven, and sometimes you have chosen a few other players, so that experience was something else. It also keeps you grounded, how do you appreciate opportunities when you get them.
