Cricket: Morgan a World Cup doubt

England batsman Eoin Morgan is out of today's final one-day international against Australia and could miss the World Cup starting this month after fracturing the middle finger of his left hand.

The England and Wales Cricket Board says Morgan is flying back to Britain for treatment.

He felt discomfort during the fourth one-day international in Adelaide on January 26 and that the pain has got worse.

The ECB said: "A decision about his participation in the World Cup will be made following the specialist's assessment of the injury."
