Wins Over Pakistan Will Boost England at World Cup, Says Morgan

England will be without their captain Eoin Morgan when they take on Pakistan in the fourth one-day international (ODI) that will be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Friday. Eoin Morgan was banned from the 4th ODI by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for maintaining a slow over-rate during the third ODI against Pakistan on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow, who scored a century in the 3rd ODI, has also been reprimanded for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct relating to "abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an international match".

Eoin Morgan was sanctioned after the 2019 World Cup hosts and favourites England took around four hours to bowl their 50 overs in a six-wicket win over Pakistan in the third ODI at Bristol on Tuesday.
