England limited-overs skipper Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from international cricket amidst question marks over his form.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The southpaw started his career, playing for Ireland, but later shifted to England and became one of their finest cricketers in the limited-overs formats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 16 Tests, 248 ODIs and 115 T20Is, Morgan went on to score 700, 7701 and 2458 runs respectively with 16 centuries and 64 half-centuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Dublin-born cricketer captained England in 126 ODIs and 72 T20Is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"After careful deliberation and consideration, I am here to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect," Morgan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"To call time on what has been without doubt the most enjoyable and rewarding chapter of my career hasn't been an easy decision, but I believe now is the right time to do so, both for me, personally, and for both England white-ball sides I have led to this point," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I am hugely proud of what I have achieved as a player and captain, but the things I will cherish and remember the most are the memories I made with some of the greatest people I know along the way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
