2019 World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan announced his retirement from international cricket on Tuesday. The England and Wales Cricket Board took to Twitter to share the news that Morgan has decided to bid adieu to international cricket with immediate effect but he will continue playing domestic cricket.
The southpaw has been going through a lean patch in recent times and has been under the scanner for his fitness issues this year.
After careful deliberation and consideration, I am here to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect, said Morgan in an ECB statement.
‘To call time on what has been without doubt the most enjoyable and rewarding chapter of my career hasn’t been an easy decision.’
But I believe now is the right time to do so, both for me, personally, and for both England white-ball sides I have led to this point, he said.
