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.

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.
Morgan started his international career with Ireland in 2006 before switching his national team to England in 2009. Overall, he played 248 ODIs, scoring 7,701 runs with the help of 14 centuries and 47 fifties. In the 115 T20Is he played, Morgan scored 2,458 runs with the help of 14 fifties.

A leader par excellence!

It was on the cards and he has taken the correct decision. Eoin Morgan can be extremely proud of what he has accomplished with this English team. The firebrand cricket that they played in white-ball since 2015 was just astounding. pic.twitter.com/jXwDMSWn2f
