"Is likely to be a back-up batsman but if previous tours down under are a guide, is likely to feature at some point."
The Irish left-hander is seen as a one-day specialist but don't be surprised to see him at the crease paddle-sweeping and reverse-sweeping during this Series sooner or later...
Eoin Morgan

Left-handed middle order batsman
Tests: 6
Batting Average: 32.00
Ashes Experience: None
Ashes Role:
Is likely to be a back-up batsman but if previous tours down under are a guide, is likely to feature at some point. Will be expected to score quick runs in the lower middle order and is, after Collingwood, possibly the best fielder in the England squad.
**Likes: **The switch-hit, the reverse sweep and the Dilscoop
Dislikes: Being labelled a one day specialist
Trivia: At 5'9", Morgan is the shortest player in the England squad
Odds to be top England batsman: [17.0]
