England’s World cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan may retire soon from International Cricket
Eoin Morgan has done exceptionally well for England while captaining in the limited overs format. It was under Morgan’s captaincy that England was able to win the ICC World Cup for the first time in 2019. Morgan may announce his retirement from international cricket this week. Morgan has been battling poor form for some time now. It is believed that Jos Buttler can be given the command of England’s ODI and T20 team in place of Morgan.
In the limited overs format, England captain Eoin Morgan can say goodbye to international cricket by the end of this week. After Morgan’s retirement, Jos Buttler can become the captain of England’s ODI-T20 team.
Morgan’s poor form continues to be a headache for England, he was not bought by any team in the IPL 2022 mega auction. While the English batsmen made a lot of runs on the tour of Netherlands, Morgan could not even open the account in two matches of the series. Morgan has scored just two fifties in his last 28 international matches.
Before the Netherlands series, Morgan said on SkySports,
“If I feel that I am not doing well and I am not able to contribute to the team, then I will end it.”
Morgan was made the captain of the ODI team at the time of the 2015 World Cup. Recently, there have been changes in the Test team of England. Ben Stokes was named captain in place of Joe Root.
