England head coach Chris Silverwood has put his weight behind limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan and said that it’s on him to decide on the future.
"He's got to make that decision himself," Silverwood said on Thursday according to an ESPNCricinfo report.
“His mind had already gone on to the next [World Cup], what do we need to do, what are we looking for. As soon as those conversations start, in my mind, that is it for us: he's in. He wants it, and he wants to lead. I think he will make his mind up when he's ready,” he further added.
The Morgan-led side lost to New Zealand in the semi-final after Daryl Mitchell and James Neesham produced a brilliant batting display. Talking about the loss, Silverwood admitted that the players were disappointed.
“We have got a group of lads who are hurting, which you can understand as well. To get so close, touching distance, and then to have it snatched away… we had the game under control for a lot of the time, [but Neesham] came in and played some exceptional shots, made life difficult for us,” he said.
England had been in some brilliant form during the T20 World Cup but bowed out of the tournament after suffering a defeat in the semis.
