The fact a trophy is sitting here is, you know \u2014 like I mentioned, we got the rub of the green today,\u201d Morgan said during the post-match conference. He added, \u201cNew Zealand, throughout the group stages, were absolutely outstanding, very consistent and in the semifinal were very ruthless in playing against India, India are an extremely strong team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morgan on becoming the first captain to lead England men to World Cup glory:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cI hope it (life) hasn\u2019t changed that much. I enjoy my life. I lead quite a quiet one, so I hope it hasn\u2019t changed too much. I would love it to change for everybody else who wants it to change, but I enjoy my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On being asked if it was Irishman\u2019s luck:<\/strong>\u201cWe had Allah with us as well. I spoke to Adil (Rashid), he said Allah was definitely with us. I said we had the rub of the green (smiling).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan is an Irish by birth, Ben Stokes a New Zealander, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali are second-generation Pakistanis, Jason Roy, a South African.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking on the diversity in the England squad:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cIt actually epitomises our team. Diverse backgrounds and cultures and guys grew up in different countries and to actually find humour in the situation we were in at times was pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking on his future:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cWe will let the dust settle, we\u2019ll celebrate as hard as we can. I think it\u2019s deserved. And then we will look at things. Four years is a long time away. I think the big question I will have to answer is will I be in the team in four years, will I be good enough? These guys are improving very quickly. Will I be able to keep up with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>England\u2019s World Cup-winning football legend Bobby Moore and rugby icon Martin Johnson\u2019s black visage is carved on Mount Rushmore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>On being asked if he wants a similar sculpture:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cNot at all. There\u2019s no Mount Rushmore. Primrose Hill, that\u2019s about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Concluding with an emotional tribute, Morgan said:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThey are the best, and they do it in a fashion that you\u2019d have no qualms in turning around to your kid and saying, \u2018Please idolise these guys, they are very admirable.\u2019 They are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>(This story has not been edited by KASHMIR TODAY staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We had Allah with us as well.
