England World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan retires from cricket

The Dubliner is stepping away from all forms of the game.

ENGLANDโ€™S WORLD CUP-WINNING captain Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The Dublin-born 36-year-old oversaw the transformation of Englandโ€™s white-ball side from also-rans in 2015 to 50-over world champions at Lordโ€™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.

โ€œIt is with great pride that I am announcing my retirement from all forms of cricket,โ€ Morgan posted on Twitter.

โ€œI believe that now is the right time to step away from the game that has given me so much over the years.โ€
