England Twenty20 skipper Eoin Morgan has described himself as 'twice the man' he was a few weeks back, ahead of his side's T20 international against Australia in Cardiff.

The 28-year-old said he feels extremely fresh and physically fit, adding that he is raring to go for the match after a month off, Sport24 reported.

Morgan further said that England's focus will be on T20 World Cup and driving one-day cricket forward.

Earlier, Morgan, who made his T20 debut against Netherlands in 2009, was dropped by Middlesex just weeks before the one-day series against Australia.

Morgan was struggling for runs, averaging just 26 in T20 and 10.16 in first-class cricket.

England will now take on Australia in the first one-day of the five-match series on Thursday and will play the lone-T20 on Monday.
