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.

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.
