I have seen some of the messages my good friend has received and they are absolutely horrendous - people need calling out
Eoin Morgan took me aside at a training session before the ODI team’s first practice match a fortnight ago and asked me to be his vice-captain for this series against Ireland, which starts on Thursday. I have been absolutely buzzing about it ever since.
People might think phrases like “it being an honour” are just trotted out at times like this but it genuinely is. It means a huge amount to me and especially from a captain like Morgs. Growing up playing cricket I never thought I’d one day be able to say I was vice-captain of my country and I’ve had a lot of messages of support.
