Morgan retires from all forms of cricket

Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The 36-year-old, who captained England to World Cup glory in 2019, retired from international cricket last year and subsequently played in The Hundred as well as appearing on Sky Sports as a pundit.

Morgan made the announcement of his retirement with "great pride".

He said in a statement: "I believe that now is the right time to step away from the game that has given me so much over the years. From moving to England in 2005 to join Middlesex right up to the very end, playing for Paarl Royals in SA20, I have cherished every moment.

"As there are in every sportsperson's career, there have been highs and lows but my family and friends have been my side throughout," he continued.

"I also must thank all my team-mates, coaches, fans and those behind the scenes who not only made me the player I became but have also made me the man I am today."

As well as that World Cup triumph on home soil, he led England to the top of the one-day and Twenty20 rankings
