Eoin Morgan and Shane Warne will join hands for the London Spirit team at The Hundred later this year. Eoin Morgan will lead the men’s side, which also includes the likes of Glenn Maxwell and Mohammad Amir. Shane Warne will fill in the role of the team’s head coach.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Eoin Morgan said talking about the sport with the former leg spinner has been ‘amazing’. The 34-year-old added that it would be equally good for Spirit’s squad members to learn from Warne in the month-long tournament.
Shane Warne, who picked up 1001 wickets from 339 games across formats, is currently the team mentor for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. Eoin Morgan, on the other hand, will lead the Kolkata Knight Riders in the impending season.
“KKR has really strong chances this year” - Eoin Morgan
Speaking about KKR’s chances in this year’s IPL, Eoin Morgan said the team has learned valuable lessons from last year and are better prepared to compete in the competition.
KKR finished fifth in the points table last year after missing out on the top-4 spot by a slender margin in NRR. They will start their IPL 2021 campaign against David Warner’s Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 11 in Chennai.
