England's middle-order batsman Eoin Morgan has said that he would take a no frills approach during his temporary captaincy stint for their fourth ODI against Sri Lanka, as regular skipper Alastair Cook serves a one-match ban for his side's slow over rate in the third ODI.

Morgan, who has captained the ODI side on seven previous occasions, said that he doesn't think there's a style to his captaincy, claiming that it's no frills, and it is what it is.

Morgan also said that he has always done it his way, claiming that things won't change, adding that he plays it as he sees it, The BBC reported.

Sri Lanka currently lead the seven-match series 2-1 after winning the first and second ODIs before England won the third match in Hambantota on Wednesday.

Cook has been under pressure to quit the one-day captaincy, with former England batsman Kevin Pietersen among those to call for him to quit.

Morgan diplomatically said that it is not an ambition to take over from Cook as ODI skipper, but conceded that he would accept the job if it was offered to him in the future.

He claimed that it's something one cannot turn down, adding that when he has done it in the past, he has really enjoyed it.

Morgan is currently in a poor personal run of form, having scored only 207 runs in his last 13 ODI innings since his prolific series in Australia last winter.

However, the batsman said that he has had a reasonably good run of form when he has captained the side in the past. He claimed that if it could help turn around his low run of scores, then he would be even more pleased.
