White-ball head coach Matthew Mott coached England to T20 World Cup glory last November but is under scrutiny following five defeats in six matches at the 50-over World Cup
Former captain Eoin Morgan has batted away rumours suggesting he could replace Matthew Mott as England's white-ball head coach.
Mott, who guided the T20 side to World Cup glory in Australia last November, is under scrutiny following five defeats in six matches at the 50-over World Cup, a run which has left his side bottom of the table.
Ahead of England's 100-run defeat against India, Morgan, the 2019 World Cup-winning captain, claimed something must be going off behind the scenes within the England camp, adding that the defending champions looked "unsettled".
However, the 37-year-old, who retired from international cricket last year and is now carving out a media career, said he is happy with what he is currently doing.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I am very happy and cemented, hopefully, in what I am going to do in the future. I spend a lot of time home now with my young family which is great and I love watching on.
"It is a bit far-fetched, but everyone is entitled to interpret my comments.
"It might be a cause to the performance the England team have produced throughout this World Cup and contributing factors to that which surround it.
"No one in the changing room, captain or coach or any of the players can explain the situation they find themselves in."
It was confirmed on Sunday (October 29) that the final group-stage standings in this World Cup would also act as qualification for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan, with the hosts and the top seven teams making the tournament.

Morgan believes that the current coach should be given more time in the role, but failure to qualify for the Champions Trophy may force the hand of those at the top of the ECB.
“They are double world champions for a reason, they are not a bad team by any stretch," he added.
"Matthew Mott is going through the biggest challenge of his England coaching career at the moment and it is one that he should be given time to put right. Certainly, towards the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA.
"But if the England team don't qualify for the Champions Trophy, the likes of (managing director) Rob Key and the ECB will come under increasing pressure surrounding his [Mott's] job."
England will resume their World Cup campaign against Australia on November 4, with matches against Netherlands and Pakistan still to come.
