“I started playing reverse sweep when I first came to London as a 16-year-old and signed up at Middlesex,” Morgan said in a video posted on the website of the Kolkata Knight Riders, his Indian Premier League team. “When I played in the first team as a 17, 18-year-old, trying to clear the long straight boundary at Lord’s was very difficult for me.
Often employed against spinners, the unorthodox reverse sweep is an effective shot to negate field placings but the World Cup-winning captain said he was not using it as often these days as opponents had become wise to it.
