"We have our association with the England cricket team for 20 years now. Our managing trustee Tim Grandage is English and thus the association," Sujata Sen, chief executive of the organisation founded in 1987, told IANS.

Besides Morgan, pacer Chris Woakes, wicket-keepers Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler were also seen clicking selfies with the kids and engaging in fun-filled conversations.

England have already lost the three-match ODI series 0-2.
