Face of Nation : The 32-year-old has a history of back injuries and suffered a spasm during the World Cup. Morgan said he wants to lead England at the Twenty-20 World Cup in Australia in October 2020.
“I need more time to think. It’s a big decision and a big commitment,” he told. Morgan was the architect of England men’s first World Cup triumph, leading them from the humiliation of a first-round exit in 2015 to victory in the incredible final against New Zealand at Lord’s in July.
On Friday he was back at Lord’s, being presented with a commemorative cap by the England and Wales Cricket Board for his World Cup success, playing 200 one-day internationals for England and captaining them on 100 occasions.
Asked if he wanted to captain in Australia next year, he replied: “Absolutely. Who doesn’t? “I just don’t want to let anybody down. When you lead, you have to lead from the front and you have to be physically fit. “Finding form is another thing. Hopefully that works itself out.” Morgan hobbled out of the World Cup win over West Indies on 14 June, but recovered to hit 148 off 71 balls – including an ODI record 17 sixes – against Afghanistan four days later.
