“We have to make do. If Tests were going on, there would be ways and means we could have meaningful practice matches in and around those Ireland games in a similar environment. We will have to wait and see how much cricket we play and the opportunities that land on the guys. They’ll have to make the most of them because they are very limited ones at the moment” Morgan concluded.
