England T-20 captain Eoin Morgan said they must prepare well for the T-20 World Cup in Australia with the limited opportunities
"For the last month, everybody has struggled to get a sense of what's possible and what might or might not happen," Morgan told reporters via Zoom during the launch of the Abu Dhabi T10.
"We may have to make do. If tests were going on, there would be ways and means we could have meaningful practice games in and around those Ireland games in a similar environment. We could have proper opposition and maybe use the England Lions there too to make it as highly competitive as possible,’’ he said.
The coronavirus outbreak has forced the England and Wales Cricket Board to suspend professional games in the country till July 1 and has put in doubt Australia’s ODI and T20I tour of England in July.
Morgan said lack of matches in the shortest format ahead of the World Cup was not ideal but added that everyone should be keen to deliver with whatever comes their way.
"If the T20 World Cup goes ahead in the slot that it's been allocated at the moment, we'll have certainly played a limited amount of cricket before then," he added.
"Given the circumstances, we'll have to see how much cricket we play and the opportunities that land on guys' laps. They'll have to make the most of them." The global health crisis has also put under threat the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to be held from October 18 to November 15 in Australia.
