India v England: Eoin Morgan hopes feelgood factor from Test success will help England in Twenty20 series The Irishman, who led the England one-day side for a one-off match in his native Dublin 18 months ago, hopes that these two matches will be the first step on the road back to Test cricket ahead of next summer's Ashes. "Certainly, given the opportunity, I'll back myself to get back in the team - absolutely," he said. I'm only going to do that through weight of runs. So everything starts from Thursday. It's my first opportunity in two or three months. I was looking for a chance, and the chance didn't come. I'm not going to sit and sulk about it; I'll do things that are going to put me in the right direction and hope they move me up the pecking order. Tim Bresnan and Patel, two players whose immediate Test futures are under pressure after the series, also have a lot to play for. "It's a big opportunity for guys like myself and Bressie and Samit to go out and perform again," Morgan said. It's going to be mayhem here and in Mumbai in the next game and performing under pressure is what the selectors want to see. If we can do that it can nudge us up the list. Describing his style of leadership as "relaxed," Morgan also insisted that he would have no problem returning to centre stage after being anonymous so far on this tour, where he has played just one innings for a full ­England side in the second pre-series warm-up match against a Mumbai XI. He said: "Being vice-captain of the Twenty20 side in the first place, you're always going to be thrust into a situation where the captain might get injured. It's not that I have prepared for it, but mentally you think if something happens to Broady then you might get the chance. Really, I am quite happy to take the reins. It's a great opportunity for me in these two games against one of the best sides in the world in their backyard. It's certainly going to be a challenge I'm looking forward to. With the next World Twenty20 in Bangladesh not taking place until 2014, it is difficult to put these two post-Test series matches into any kind of context. Yet Morgan is keen to continue the feelgood factor generated by efforts of the past month, saying: "We've seen in the past when the Test side has done well it has had a knock-on effect with the other two teams and certainly we will be looking to win these two games and keep the winning habit up." With Kevin Pietersen and Graeme Swann rested and Steve Finn and Broad injured, England will field a young side who will be underdogs against an Indian team desperate for redemption following their chastening Test defeat. Yet young players such as Jos Buttler, Alex Hales and Jade Dernbach will also be hoping to prove they have learned from the disappointment of this year's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, which England entered as holders but exited early after losing three of their five games.
