England captain Eoin Morgan said on Tuesday he will consider dropping himself if poor batting form does not turn around.
The England captain has
only scored 82 runs for England in seven innings of T20 Cricket this year. He
only managed 133 runs with an average of 11.08 in the Indian Premier League
ended recently. He is the captain of
Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. KKR made it to the final
but lost it to Chennai Super Kings.

At his best, Morgan is a tremendous striker with the ability to earn a score at a strike rate of 138.25 in 107 T20 matches.
During an online conference, he was asked about dropping himself. Eoin Morgan said “It's always an option. I'm not going to stand in the way of a team winning the World Cup."
Eoin Morgan is the captain who led England to win the One Day International World Cup two years ago, he said “I have been short of runs, but my captaincy has been pretty good.
While Eoin Morgan was rested, Jos Butler led the team in a warm-up match against India on Monday, England lost the match to seven wickets.
After
sitting out of the match against India, Eoin Morgan will lead the team in the match
against New Zealand on Wednesday.
During
Indian Premier League, Morgan made two ducks and scored double figures runs only
once in his nine innings for Kolkata Knight Riders.
"I wouldn't be standing here if
I hadn't come out of every bad run of form that I've ever had," Morgan
said.
"The nature of T20 cricket and
where I bat means I always have to take high-risk options. I've come to terms
with that." He added.
England will play their opening T20 World Cup match against West Indies on Saturday, October 23 in Dubai.
