He retires with a slew of records to his name, including most ODI runs for England , most T20I runs for England and most sixes for England in both formats.“To call time on what has been without doubt the most enjoyable and rewarding chapter of my career hasn’t been an easy decision,” Morgan said. “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.
The 35-year-old, who made his ODI debut as a 16-year-old with his native Ireland in 2006 before he was called up by England in 2009, has played 248 ODIs and 115 T20Is, scoring 10,159 runs in total. He has also played in 16 tests, scoring 700 runs.
