India will enter the T20 World Cup as favorites, says England captain Eoin Morgan
Xtra Time Web Desk: England white ball captain Eoin Morgan on Thursday said Virat Kohli and his boys should be the favourites in the upcoming T20 World Cup in India. According to Morgan, since the marquee event will be staged in India, so that would definitely give the home side an edge over the other teams.
"Given that the World Cup is here, I do think they will enter the World Cup as favourites, so this is going to be a great test for us and a great challenge and throughout the whole tour and not just for T20s," said Morgan in the pre-match virtual press conference ahead of the first T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Morgan said the Virat Kohli-led India will be a very difficult side to beat in their backyard and the limited overs matches will be a challenge for his team.
"It is going to be from our point of view a learning process, going through what positions we might find ourselves in seven month's time at the World Cup, with a perfect case scenario that we are playing against one of the best sides in the world, in their backyard and we know they are very difficult to beat.”
