Eoin Morgan: England World cup-winning captain retires from cricket

England’s World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The 36-year-old oversaw the transformation of England’s white-ball side, culminating in the 2019 Cricket World Cup final victory against New Zealand at Lord’s in 2019.
