Eoin Morgan retires from international cricket
England captain Eoin Morgan, 35, has announced his retirement from international cricket.
For the best part of his career with England, Morgan was its white-ball captain. He led England to the World Cup title in 2019, and a runner-up finish in the 2016 T20 World Cup. He will be remembered for being at the forefront of England’s remarkable resurgence in limited-overs cricket after it crashed out in the first round of the 50-over World Cup in 2015.
Having started his career with Ireland, he began playing for England in 2009. Morgan is one of 36 cricketers who have played international cricket — Tests, ODIS or T20IS — for two teams.
“I’m hugely proud of what I have achieved, but what I will cherish and remember most are the memories I made with some of the greatest people I know,” he said.
