When another questioned if he would say to Stokes that “you have let down your team-mates, your fans and your country” – words used in the headline for his MailOnline piece, Morgan replied: “If he quit in the middle of a test match with no physical injury, leaving his teammates in the lurch like Simon Biles did, and complained he wasn’t having enough ‘fun’, then I would have said that.

“England will be weaker without him and I hope he’s back for the Ashes,” he added. However, when one Twitter user asked the journalist for his stance on Stokes’ decision, he said he wouldn’t call it “’tremendously courageous’, ‘inspiring’ or ‘heroic’ as some are saying”.
