Eoin Morgan shared a statement announcing his retirement from international cricket. It read as, “After careful deliberation and consideration, I am here to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect.”

He went on to add, “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.

Morgan also shared how he feels on having played 2 World Cups while speaking on the future of the Three Lions team in white ball formats.  He said, “I have been lucky enough to play in two World Cup winning teams. But I believe the future for England’s white-ball teams is brighter than ever. We have more experience, more strength and more depth than ever before. I look forward to watching on with a huge level of excitement.”

The 35-year-old concluded his statement by expressing excitement to be playing in English domestic competition. Eoin Morgan said, “To what lies ahead for me, I will continue to enjoy playing at a domestic level while I can. I’m really looking forward to playing and captaining London Spirit in the second edition of The Hundred this year.”
