<\/div>Eoin Morgan does not believe England’s Cricket World Cup triumph will prove to be a hindrance as his side prepare to begin their home white-ball season.<\/p>\n
England face Ireland in a three-match ODI series, starting on Thursday, at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.<\/p>\n
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, England’s first home one-day series since Morgan led the team to World Cup glory in July 2019 will be played behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
And though Morgan understands there will be new challenges posed by having no fans in attendance, he does not believe England’s World Cup success will be a weight on the side’s shoulders.<\/p>\n
“I would rather be in that position than not winning and having to fight to find a winning formula,” Morgan told a news conference.<\/p>\n
“I think winning last year has given our guys a huge confidence in the process and the planning with which we went through a long period.<\/p>\n
“It allows us to go into every World Cup with that strategy and forward thinking and trying to continually get better.<\/p>\n
“Seeing the finished product last year was an eye opener for everybody. It also creates a level of expectation wherever we go, and while it sits well with some of our guys a lot of them haven’t experienced that. We want to win more trophies.”<\/p>\n
Morgan also added that he sees the current pool of players available for selection as the strongest in his time as captain.<\/p>\n
“I think the selection was particularly difficult. Over the last four and a bit years we’ve always had tough decisions to make,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Everyone who has been left out was a tough call. The standard has been exceptional, way above the standard I expected given the time we had off.<\/p>\n
“We’re blessed at the moment with a high-calibre group of top-order batters, not only in the team but also sitting in the wings. <\/p>\n
“There’s such a big pool of players that are all so talented. We don’t know if they’ll succeed in international cricket but you would be comfortable selecting them in a squad if you needed them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
