England captain Eoin Morgan fails with the bat AGAIN as he scores just two runs in the Kolkata Knight Riders' defeat against the Punjab Kings at the IPL... raising concerns over his form ahead of the T20 World Cup

England Twenty20 captain Eoin Morgan's poor batting performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) continued as he scored only two runs in Kolkata Knight Riders' defeat by Punjab Kings, raising concerns over his form ahead of the World Cup.

Morgan, who also leads Kolkata, has scored a total of 17 runs in four innings since the IPL resumed in the United Arab Emirates last month.

The 35-year-old has an average of 10.90 runs in the T20 tournament and Kolkata coach Brendon McCullum said the team expects more from the batter.

Morgan is set to lead England in the T20 World Cup, which will be held in the UAE and Oman

'I think he's captained the side really well.
