Morgan’s World Cup hopes in doubt

Morgan became the sixth England player to leave the tour of Australia after being diagnosed with the fracture to the middle finger in his left hand and will see a specialist tomorrow to determine how long he faces out of the game.

That information will be known when Strauss and team director Andy Flower meet with the England selectors upon their arrival back in the country on Tuesday, when they will discuss the possibility of injury replacements for the 15-man squad. Strauss admitted that Morgan is the player most at risk after describing the injury as a “substantial break”.
