Piers Morgan calls Eoin Morgan a wuss for being uncertain about Bangladesh tour

Will he? Or will he not? Is the biggest question that remains unanswered in England cricket after Limited overs skipper Eoin Morgan continues to tinker with his options before taking the final call on the tour of Bangladesh. The English team is to tour the Asian nation for 3 ODIs and 2 Tests while Test skipper Alastair Cook has affirmed his willingness to lead the team while Morgan’s absence will definitely make a difference in the team’s morale.

British journalist Piers Morgan wasn’t really impressed with his inability to make a strong decision and suggested he should either agree to go to Bangladesh and lead the team or step down as the captain since to be in the position he should show leadership qualities. Piers Tweeted – ‘Stop being such a wuss @Eoin16 & either go to Bangladesh or give up the captaincy. Leaders lead. #England #Cricket’

Earlier following the Twenty20 game against Pakistan the English skipper he was quoted by the Telegraph saying, “I think ultimately, as an individual, you need to be comfortable within yourself to be able to focus on cricket,” Morgan said. “I have been to places before when things have become a distraction and once or twice when that has been security, and when it has been, I told myself I would not put myself in that situation again.

“Playing international cricket – or any cricket – is not about worrying about different things. It should be the best time of your life, it should be something that you are looking forward to, and wanting to do well in, and are able to focus on,” Morgan added.

“We played an IPL game in Bangalore and a bomb went off in the ground,” this is how Morgan remembers the previous incident. “We immediately left and went straight to the airport.”

Some Twitterati supported the journo while others backed the Irish English cricketer:

@piersmorgan Suspect if there was a very lucrative 20/20 comp in Bangladesh there would be few ‘security’ doubts!
