Morgan's warning over wounded Aussies

England captain wary of a touring side still hurting from the Cape Town controversy but revitalised under new coach and captain

England captain Eoin Morgan has warned his side to beware Australia's determination to move past the recriminations of the ball-tampering affair in March's Test series with South Africa that stunned world cricket.

Captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner were hit with year-long bans, while batsman Cameron Bancroft received a nine-month sanction.

Darren Lehmann was cleared by Cricket Australia of any involvement but he stepped down from his head coach role in a wide-ranging fall-out from the scandal.

But now Morgan has backed the Aussies to put all that in the past - and has told his England squad to be wary of the wounded visitors when they arrive for the impending one-day tour which serves as a dress rehearsal for next year's World Cup in the UK.

"I think they will be ready, and with one eye on the World Cup they will come with a strong performance," said Morgan, speaking at an event in London to mark one year until the start of Cricket World Cup 2019.

"What's happened to them in the last six months has the potential to galvanise a young, hungry side.

"So we're going to have bring our A game to this series. And again it's going to be a good challenge for us moving forward."

New skipper looks ahead to England ODI tour

The ODI series starts on June 13, while Australia's first game is a warm-up fixture against Sussex next Thursday.

And Morgan admits he is relieved he will be ready to skipper his country in the upcoming ODI series, despite a broken finger.

Morgan has had to pull out of captaining the World XI in Thursday's Twenty20 clash with the West Indies at Lord's, but will be ready when England start their ODI schedule against Scotland on June 10.

He was named in a 13-man squad to face Scotland and also a 14-strong line-up for the five clashes with Australia, which starts at The Oval in London on June 13.

"I have a small fracture in the ring finger of my right hand," Morgan said. "I got hit in a game on Sunday at Somerset.

"It's disappointing but it's not the worst news that could have come through.

"It's a week to 10 days to get the swelling down in the finger and then protect it as we go on.

"So it's a relief that I'll be ready, yes.

"We never thought it was that bad a break, it didn't dislocate, which is always a good sign.

"I'm excited about playing against Australia and India this summer, and I wouldn't want to miss it."

Sam Billings will deputise for wicketkeeper Jos Buttler for the Scotland clash, with seamer Tom Curran bolstering the ranks for the Australia series.
