Eoin Morgan retires from all forms of cricket

England's World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The 36-year-old Dubliner was the first cricketer to score a first-class double century for Ireland, making an unbeaten 209 against the UAE in 2007. That same year he represented his country at the World Cup.

In transfering to England, he oversaw the transformation of their white-ball side from also-rans in 2015 to 50-over world champions at Lord's four years later.

He called time on his international career last year but continued to play county cricket for Middlesex and represent London Spirit in The Hundred.

Morgan intends to remain involved in the game, working as a commentator and pundit.

"It is with great pride that I am announcing my retirement from all forms of cricket," Morgan posted on Twitter.

"I believe that now is the right time to step away from the game that has given me so much over the years."
