Didn't it go back to Root after the world cup?

I dont know who it is to be honest but Morgan is key here..of the players currently he has direct experience in india and bangladesh of close calls regarding safety so thats maybe why he is reluctant.if the papers are right he's not on the plane.He's a free thinking bloke but does his availabilty or not mean some other players could pull out.

Maybe just my view but Strauss seems to be giving mixed messages.first 'we respect each players decision wont be held against them'
Now...' Someone else takes your place that's the risk'

Yes he is going himself out there(bangladesh)

Maybe its just me but i sense some pressure being applied to tour?

Sounds like Morgan isn't going. Disappointing but if he doesn't feel comfortable with it then I don't blame him. I know Strauss has been fairly brutal since taking his job but after the whole Pietersen stuff you'd hope he'd handle this in the right way, if he gets shown the door I can only imagine the mood around the camp to be go downhill as he's the best LOI captain we've had in yonks...

Morgan is key to Strauss because f the captain don't go, which I don't think he will, other players almost certainly won't either.

Morgan by all accounts has his own mind and certainly won't toe a line he does not agree with. Quite right England have only just caught up with one-day cricket..Gawd knows a few of us remember when we were 5 years behind everyone else.
Morgan has to take some credit for new England-the way we play now....

England management need to tread a bit carefully I reckon. I sense from recent interviews with Strauss is putting the players under pressure which cannot be right.

And yes, KP was a fiasco on all sides. Even some of us(well me) who are glad he's out cannot stick up for the ECB the way they handled it. It was monumental bad management from the ECB.

I hope we are not heading for more conflict....

I don't think other players are the issue at all, certainly with regards to the players who are involved in both formats. Would be an issue if Cook wasn't on board with it all and it sounds like the only people with concerns are Morgan and Hales.

I have to say the media bile against Morgan today has been vile.

Completely agree. Maybe KP was right in saying the ECB wouldn't let him forget this, one can only assume a lot of this media tripe has been driven or leaked by them

Agree, they are cricketers. Not diplomats. If he doesn't want to go. It's his choice. Slow day in the cricket media and so they have gone off at the deep end.

Agreed, lets face it they're all going over there as target number 1 - don't blame Hales/Morgan at all for their decision.
