'Gleeson's debut was remarkable'- Eoin Morgan

England’s World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has heaped praises on debutant Richard Gleeson after his stunning debut against India in the second T20I. The former captain, while speaking to Sky Sports has shared that the rise of the pace bowler comes at the right time when England are facing issues with many of their key speedsters facing long-term injury concerns as well.

Notably, England have been struggling with their bowling attack after the likes of Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes were sidelined for a long period of time prior to the T20 World Cup which is slated to take place in Australia.

Morgan lavishes praise on Gleeson

“Gleeson's debut was remarkable. England can add another name to that not-so-long list of bowlers that can contribute at international level. He comes in with a reputation of being great at the end of innings for his county in various forms but he came in here, hit a length hard and fast, and dismissed Kohli, Pant and Sharma,” Morgan said.

"It was extraordinary. This is a huge find for English cricket and one they can build towards the next World Cup and possibly the next 50-over World Cup [in India] next year,” he opened up on the prospect of Gleeson getting a long run into the World Cup season as well.

Earlier in the day, a cheerful Gleeson has also said that he could not have dreamt of his debut for the England team.

"(England selection) wasn't anywhere near my radar. It was just to play the highest standard that I could,” he said. "I just want to keep playing cricket and enjoying it, playing for as long as I can. Who knows? If I keep performing, anything could happen.”
