Brendon McCullum felt that Eoin “captured the side brilliantly”, while some other karts are working for the KKR captain.
The fact that the franchise is working with England probe Nathan Lyman Morgan means KKR cannot afford a captaincy change and want the relationship to continue till the end of the tournament.
McCullum said, “He is one of our best players. He is one of our international batsmen and in his head he used to like to share more runs.”
