England limited overs skipper Eoin Morgan will lead the ICC World XI side in a T20 International against West Indies at Lord’s in May this year, International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Thursday. The game will raise funds for two stadia in the Caribbean that were damaged following Hurricanes Irma and Maria last year. West Indies, who are the defending ICC World T20 champions, will face what is expected to be a very strong World XI side with Morgan at the helm and the England captain is relishing the prospect. “I am delighted to captain the ICC World XI at Lord’s in May against the West Indies,” said Morgan. Giles Clarke, the ECB President and ICC Director is leading the coordination of the match, supported by the ICC, ECB and MCC in partnership with Cricket West Indies.
