World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan has confirmed his retirement from international cricket, saying "the future for England's white-ball teams is brighter than ever".
Morgan has revolutionised England's limited-overs fortunes in his seven-and-a-half-year reign, taking them from also-rans at the 2015 World Cup to champions for the first time four years later.
He wanted to lead England at the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year but the 35-year-old has struggled with form and fitness over the last 18 months, prompting a change of heart.
Morgan led a one-day series in the Netherlands this month but his dual issues were exposed as he was dismissed twice for nought in high-scoring matches before missing the concluding game with a groin niggle.
"After careful deliberation and consideration, I am here to announce my retirement from international cricket with immediate effect," said Morgan
