Eoin Morgan Tips Tymal Mills To Challenge For England T20 World Cup Place
England captain Eoin Morgan believes the "outstanding" Tymal Mills can force his way into the squad for October's Twenty20 World Cup where there are only currently "half a dozen guys nailed down"
Fast bowler Mills, a T20 specialist owing to a congenital back condition, is making something of a comeback after injuries that have interrupted his career since his last England appearance in February 2017.

The Sussex left-arm quick, who can top speeds of 90 mph, will also have a chance to make his case in the inaugural edition of the Hundred, where the 28-year-old will be representing Southern Brave.
"If everybody was fit, I don't think there are many nailed down," said Morgan, speaking after England's 3-0 T20 series win over Sri Lanka, completed in Southampton on Saturday.
"There's probably half a dozen guys nailed down. There's a significant period of time. "There are guys playing in the Hundred like Tymal Mills who could easily present a case."
Morgan, England's captain when they won the 2019 50-over World Cup, added: "He is an outstanding bowler, and we've always been in communication with him, wanting him to get fit, play as much cricket as possible, and leave him alone until the World Cup comes.
