Best T20I XI of the year
While the focus was largely on the 50-over World Cup of 2019 till June, now all of that focus has shifted to the T20 World Cup of 2020.

You might wonder as to why Eoin Morgan is in this best T20I XI of 2019. But it is a fact that Morgan is a very underrated T20 player and most of his exploits go unnoticed around the other stars in the England line-up. He may not score every game but has a big impact every time he does.
In 2019, Morgan played nine games and scored 268 runs. He averaged 44.66 and had a stunning strike-rate of 172.90. Morgan is one who can hit sixes at will and can turn the game in the middle overs of a T20 game. Moreover, he is one of the best white-ball captains going around in world cricket at the moment.
He has led England to seven wins, including the Super Over win against New Zealand. Thus, Morgan will captain this side. There was the option of going with Virat Kohli but given Morgan’s record as captain in 2019 as T20 captain, it’s fair to go with Morgan.
