Eoin Morgan Concussed After Being Hit on Head by Bouncer During Fifth ODI
England skipper Eoin Morgan has suffered a concussion after getting hit on the helmet by Mitchell Starc and played no further part in the fifth ODI.
England captain Eoin Morgan was struck on the head by a bouncer and played no further part in Sunday's fifth and final one-day international against Australia at Old Trafford. Australia won the match by eight wicket to clinch the series 3-2.
The left-hander was hit by a short ball from Australia left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc in the seventh over of the match having scored one run and faced seven deliveries. (SCORECARD)
The England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed that Morgan, 29, is "being treated for concussion and will take no further part in the game".
Australia's players immediately surrounded Dublin-born Morgan after he received the blow and following treatment by the England medical staff on the pitch the 29-year-old climbed to his feet and made his way back to the dressing room.
Nottinghamshire batsman James Taylor has taken over captaincy duties in Morgan's absence
