England captain Eoin Morgan on Tuesday said his team is not a strong contender for the men’s T20 World Cup semi-final clash against New Zealand. England and New Zealand will face each other in the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. “It’s a really nice compliment for all the players to have the changing room, especially for the head coach and support staff who have created an environment where all the players come and they thrive in it.
“We’ve always thought of having a lot of depth within our squad and overall, there are some instances where we have to drop replacement teams, but I think in doing that, you have 30-40 in the home setup. There may be players who can play international cricket but if there isn’t the right environment, it doesn’t matter which eleven you pick, they won’t be able to perform,” Morgan told ANI during a virtual pre-match press conference. Responding to the question of.
Asked if England are favorites for the semi-finals, Morgan said: “I wouldn’t say strong favourites. New Zealand have a full-strength side. Our people are very excited about the challenge of facing New Zealand. We have to play well. We need cricket to beat them.”
“We can’t wait, it’s a big achievement that we came out of our group and the way we finished top of the table, now it’s all about making the best game. We know how good New Zealand is and how good we are.” Has been consistent. They have always been extremely competitive, they are always around the semi-finals.”
Opener Jason Roy was ruled out of the World Cup against South Africa with an injury but Morgan said the mood within the camp is fine and the team is excited to move on.

“I think by losing any experienced player, you can’t really replace Jason’s experience. He has played a big part in our last two World Cups. I think we did all the good things in this tournament.” The strongest point has been the resilience within our squad to be able to find a way forward,” Morgan said.
England were at the top of Group 1 of the Super 12 stage, winning four out of five games.
