  3. Eoin Morgan on his future as England captain: "My experience as captain has made me a better player and better person and I've learnt a lot about the team and my own performance.

    "There will be a review from here so, with regards the captaincy, the decision is out of my hands."

  4. Central contracts for ODI players?

    England captain Eoin Morgan on central contracts for England one-day players: "They have probably improved us as a Test nation, so if they did the same for one-day cricket, it would be well received."

    On introducing franchises for T20 domestic cricket: "I'm a huge fans of the IPL and the Big Bash. One thing it does do is take you out of your comfort zone - you play under huge pressure, in front of huge crowds and against international quality bowling."

  5. Captain's view

    England captain Eoin Morgan tells Sky Sports: "There have been some difficult lessons - things like building innings, building pressure with the ball - things like that have let us down.

    "We made the same mistakes we have been doing for quite a while now. We haven't had a run of form as a team.

    "Throughout this tournament we haven't gelled as a side. We have got on well together but we haven't managed to string tow performances together."

    "There has to be a change in direction. Test match cricket has to remain a priority. But there has to be ca change because we haven't had success at World Cups."

  6. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "England don't have an AB de Villiers... he's a freak. But we do have Jos Buttler and Alex Hales who weren't used properly in this tournament."

  7. Email [email protected]

    Yvonne: England should employ Gary Kirsten as head coach (look how he lifted the Proteas and India) and also a motivational speaker as the Black Caps did. That should put the Aussies in their place.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "We need the Stokes, Billings and Hales of this world to come into the team. I like the look of Moeen Ali, but there's not many spinners either. To become a really good team, England need to find some high-class bowlers. If James Anderson falls over and gets injured, I worry for England in the Ashes. Who is going to hold up an end, never mind roll over the Aussies">
