London, Mar 4 (AP) Batsman Eoin Morgan has been given a contract with the England national team after starring in recent limited-overs matches.
Morgan struck a match-winning 67 not out in last month's first Twenty20 against Pakistan and on Tuesday became the first man to hit a one-day century for two countries.

England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Hugh Morris says Morgan is "an established member of our one-day and T20 sides.
