It will be a challenge to beat India at home: Morgan

TIL Desk Sports/ England captain Eoin Morgan on Sunday said it will be a big challenge for the visitors to beat India at home but they are ready for the “special experience” that awaits them in the upcoming limited overs series. “Yes, I am really looking forward to it. Playing against India in India is special experience. (They) are a strong side and hard to beat at home. I think, that’s something we are looking forward to as a side (and) it’s going to be a challenge.

“It is only a short series, but we think we can learn a lot from it,” Morgan told reporters in suburban Malad here. Morgan along with vice-captain Jos Buttler attended a “Net Session” organised by HyperCITY retail in association with Waitrose, one of the super-chains in England this afternoon. Meanwhile, Buttler said that the ODI series will be different from the Tests.

“Little bit, yes obviously. Good to play before Christmas, we got used to conditions and stuff. But the ODI matches will be completely different. We have got a different side but every time you come, you have to re-adjust and get ready for the matches accordingly,” Buttler said when asked whether he would like to carry his form from the Tests to ODI series. India will be led by a new skipper — Virat Kohli — in ODI series following the sudden resignation of Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the limited-overs captain.
