Morgan still eyes Ashes

EOIN MORGAN walked away from the Gabba haunted by the dreams which might have been.

While England are busy facing Australia in the first Test in Brisbane, Morgan will join the National Performance Squad in an attempt to gain some much needed action. Ian Bell’s majestic innings against Australia A in Hobart last week all but consigned Morgan’s hopes of appearing in an Ashes series to dust.

Barring injury or a rapid loss of form, the Dublin-born batsman will be forced to watch from afar despite enjoying an impressive start to his Test cricket career.
