England's 2019 World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan on Tuesday announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. During his 13-year international career with England, the 35-year-old won the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup as Captain in 2019 at Lord's, the first time England Men had won the world crown. He was also part of the England team that won the 2010 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean.
England's white-ball captain Eoin Morgan confirmed his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday. Though reports had already suggested about his likely retirement, the official announcement was made by ECB on Tuesday. Notably, Morgan leaves international cricket as the first and only England skipper to lead the side to a men's ODI World Cup win. England had defeated New Zealand in the final of 2019 World Cup. Morgan captained the national side in 126 ODIs, winning 76 and losing 40 of them. In the T20I format, he led the side in 72 games, 42 of them resulted in wins and 27 were lost by England.
England's 2019 World Cup winning-captain Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from international cricket, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Tuesday. The left-handed batter was battling fitness and form issues over the past year and on Monday, British media had widely reported that Morgan would indeed be announcing his retirement.
England's World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has retired from international cricket with immediate effect, the England and Wales Cricket Board announced on Tuesday.
England’s World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan insisted now was “the right time” to step down as he announced his retirement from international cricket.
With British media widely reporting that Eoin Morgan is likely to announce his international retirement, fans are speculating as to who will be the next England skipper in the white-ball formats. Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes that Jos Buttler can become the new leader and he also labelled him as the best white-ball cricketer in the world. Buttler has been in remarkable form off late as he was the leading run-getter in this year's IPL with 863 runs.
Even the timing of his retirement was spot on. Two ducks against the Netherlands is hardly a glorious exit but by putting the team first Eoin Morgan has selflessly given England a better chance of emulating his 2019 World Cup success.
Michael Vaughan has backed Jos Buttler to become the team's white-ball skipper after Eoin Morgan steps down, saying the decision would be a "no-brainer". Reports in British media said Morgan is set to announce his retirement from international cricket later on Tuesday, ending a career in which he played more than 300 times across 50-overs and Twenty20 formats.
