England's limited over format captain Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from international cricket. The 35-year-old Morgan is England's highest run-scorer as well as the most successful captain in ODI cricket. Morgan has scored 6957 runs for England in 225 ODIs with 13 centuries. Overall Morgan has 7701 runs in ODI cricket with 14 centuries.

Eoin Morgan captained England in 126 matches, in which he won 76 and his win percentage was 65.25 during this period. One of the most memorable moments of his captaincy career was leading England to the 2019 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup title on home soil.

Morgan has led England in 126 ODIs and 72 T20 Internationals since being appointed Alastair Cook's successor in 2015. During this, England was the runner-up of the 2016 World T20 under his captaincy and later the team won the 2019 ODI World Cup. Before playing for England in 2009, Morgan represented Ireland. In addition to representing England 340 times in limited overs cricket, Morgan played in 16 Test matches between 2010 and 2012.

 Morgan was also a highly successful T20 International cricketer. He scored 2458 runs in 115 matches with 14 half-centuries and an average of 136.18. He is the most successful T20I captain in international cricket, with the team winning 42 out of 72 matches under his captaincy. Morgan has been battling poor form for some time now. Morgan had scored just two half-centuries in his last 28 international matches. It is believed that Jos Buttler can be given the command of England's ODI and T20 team in place of Morgan.

Announcing his retirement, Morgan said in a statement: "After careful deliberation and deliberation, I am announcing my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect. The happiest and without a doubt the happiest of my career." It has not been an easy decision to say goodbye to the best of moments, but I believe now is the right time to do so, both for me personally and for the limited overs team in England that I have gotten to this point.

"I have been fortunate to play in two World Cup winning teams, but I believe the future of England's white-ball teams is brighter than ever," he said. We have more experience, more strength and more depth than ever before.
