Eoin Morgan, the World Cup-winning captain of England, is set to retire from all forms of international cricket on Tuesday (June 28). His outstanding white-ball career, during which he amassed over 10,000 runs in ODIs and T20Is, will come to an end.
The 35-year-old Morgan had previously stated his intention to captain England at the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, but it is believed that he has decided to retire from international cricket due to growing worries about his fitness and form. The explosive middle-order batsman has only produced two half-centuries in his last 28 appearances for England.
Morgan scored 7701 runs in ODIs, of which 6957 came after he switched from supporting Ireland to England in 2009. Although it continues to be the highest total for England in ODI cricket, his seven-year leadership reign, which revolutionized the nation's white-ball game, will ultimately be what defines his legacy.
