Morgan, who will lead a full-strength England team in three ODIs against the Netherlands, starting June 17, has come under the scanner for his low returns with the bat. Despite leading England to the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-finals, the southpaw played 16 T20Is in 2021 and averaged only 16.67, striking at 120.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the 35-year-old admitted that his body is fragile; hence, he wouldn’t want to be a liability for the team. Morgan remarked that if he feels he is not good enough, he would call it a day and hope the same mentality rubs off on the rest of the players.
He continued:
The Irishman played only two T20s in the five-game series in the West Indies earlier this year, scoring only 30 runs. The veteran missed the remaining games due to a quad injury.

Morgan also heaped praise on his deputy Jos Buttler following his memorable season with the bat for the Rajasthan Royals. He pointed out how Buttler’s mindset revolves around winning the game.
The first ODI against the Netherlands will begin on June 17 in Amstelveen.
