Eoin Morgan opens up on going unsold in the Indian T20 League 2022

England limited-overs cricketer Eoin Morgan was once one of the most popular overseas players in the Indian T20 League. He even led Kolkata in the last season and took them to the final. Unfortunately, they could not win the title as Chennai became the champions for the fourth time.

Despite all his efforts last season, Kolkata didn't retain Morgan, who had a miserable season with the bat. The southpaw then went unsold in the mega auction.

Morgan has finally opened up on his snub from the Indian T20 League. Morgan said he is not too disappointed after not being picked in the Indian T20 League as he got some time to spend with the family.

 "I looked at the ITL as a win-win, to be honest. Being there at the biggest tournament in the world is an experience that I've used to my advantage over the years and I've had some great memories and experiences along the way. But looking to the rest of the year for us, once I start playing again, it doesn't stop until after the World Cup. I've had a lovely period at home: good family time," said Morgan in an interview to ESPNcricinfo

Meanwhile, Kolkata is being led by Shreyas Iyer this season. The team has had a great start under his leadership as they have won three out of their first five games. They currently occupy the second spot in the points table with six points to their name. They lost their last game to Delhi by a margin of 44 runs. Kolkata are scheduled to face Hyderabad on Friday at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Umesh Yadav and Andre Russell have been vital for the team this season. Yadav has bagged ten wickets in five games, and currently stands second in the highest wicket-taker list. Russell, on the other hand, is Kolkata's highest run-scorer with 130 runs. He has played with a strike rate of 173 and is slowly getting back to the groove.
