"The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) can confirm that England Men's white-ball Captain Eoin Morgan has retired from international cricket with immediate effect," ECB said in a statement.
During his 13-year international career with England, the 35-year-old won the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup as Captain in 2019 at Lord's, the first time England Men had won the world crown.

Eoin Morgan retires as one of the most influential figures not only in English cricket history but the tactical history of the game full stop. His England team changed the way the white ball game has been played forever & the ramifications of that change are still being felt.

Congratulations, Eoin Morgan @Eoin16. I have admired & respected your outlook towards the game enormously.What a career & what a transformational leader. Few players have had as much of an impact on the white ball game as you have. Well done, hopefully our paths continue to cross — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) June 27, 2022
