England pace spearhead James Anderson has backed out-of-form skipper Eoin Morgan to regain form, describing him as a world-class and destructive player ahead of the World Cup.
Earlier in the week, former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott had slammed misfiring skipper, calling him as a player who lacks cleverness while facing top-class bowlers of the World.
Boycott said that Morgan was not as good as he thinks.
In response, Anderson said that it was rich coming from him, adding that Morgan was a world-class player and had been for however many games he had played, the Mirror reported.
The right-arm pace bowler further said that they were just hopeful he could get some form as they had seen how destructive he could be when he was in form.
World Cup opener between England and Australia is currently underway at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
