      <title>England skipper Morgan will know when time is right to step aside: Mott</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;England’s limited overs captain Eoin Morgan has struggled for form and fitness recently but the 35-year-old is a “long way off” the point where he is no longer worth his place in the team, newly-appointed white-ball coach Matthew Mott said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Morgan took charge of the white-ball sides in December 2014, guiding England to the Twenty20 World Cup final two years later before helping them win the 50-overs event in 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, he has scored only one half-century in his last 24 white-ball innings for England and Mott said he will be determined to prove his worth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“He always wants to be picked as a batter on form and merit,” Mott said “When he feels that’s not the case he will step aside.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I think that’s a long way off being at that point.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The form of Morgan, who turns 36 this year, could be a concern for England with the T20 World Cup scheduled for October-November in Australia but Mott said he could quickly return to form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Great players go through runs at different times and sometimes you flick a switch and it turns and you wonder what all the fuss has been about,” the coach said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Definitely watching him bat in the nets he’s in pretty good positions and going well. You can already tell what a profound influence he has on this group. He’s got a lot of great cricket ahead of him.”&lt;/p&gt;
