The ICC has confirmed the Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 has approved Eoin Morgan as a replacement player for the injured Kevin Pietersen in the England squad.
The confirmation was conveyed to the England and Wales Cricket Board on behalf of the committee. Morgan will replace Pietersen who has a hernia injury.
Any injury-based replacement requires a written submission to the event technical committee along with a diagnosis from a medical practitioner as to the extent of the injury. Once replaced, a player may not return to the squad save as an approved subsequent replacement for another injured player.
Morgan is a 24-year-old middle-order batsman and has played in 38 ODIs for England in which he has scored 1,160 runs at an average of 40.
Pietersen is the 14th player to be replaced in the tournament.
As with all players in the tournament, the eligibility of a replacement player is subject to approval by the ICC before that player can be officially added to the squad.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 consists of David Richardson (ICC, chairman), Prof. Ratnakar Shetty (Tournament Director), Campbell Jamieson (IDI representative), Anil Kumble (host nominee), David Lloyd (independent nomination) and Sanjay Manjrekar (independent nomination).
