Peter Moores: Morgan will step up at the World Cup

England coach Peter Moores says captain Eoin Morgan can confound the critics at the Cricket World Cup.

On Thursday Geoffrey Boycott said Morgan "thinks he's better than he is", but Moores says the 28-year-old will come into his own during the big games over the next eight weeks.

Speaking ahead of England's World Cup opener with Australia in Melbourne, the England coach was optimistic about his side's chances, and says the young players in the team are ready to come of age.
