Eoin Morgan, the former England cricket team captain, has announced his retirement from all forms of the cricket. The 36-year-old Dublin-born batsman is best known for leading England to their first-ever World Cup victory in 2019 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest white-ball batsmen of his generation.
Morgan made his international debut for Ireland in 2006 before switching to play for England in 2009. He was named as England’s limited-overs captain in 2014 and quickly established himself as one of the most innovative and dynamic leaders in the game. Under his captaincy, England revolutionized the way limited-overs cricket was played, with a focus on aggressive and fearless batting that helped the team rise to the top of the rankings.
The highlight of Morgan’s career came in 2019 when England won the World Cup. He was instrumental in the team’s success, scoring a crucial knock of 71 runs in the final against New Zealand to help England lift the trophy. The victory marked a new era in English cricket and helped to break the country’s long-standing reputation as perennial underachievers in limited-overs cricket. Eoin Morgan won’t be seen playing in the IPL or any other format of cricket now.
