Eoin Morgan shared the message on social media. In this he wrote – I am proudly retiring from all forms of cricket. After much deliberation, I believe that now is the right time to walk away from the sport that has given me so much over the years. From moving to England in 2005 to joining Middlesex, I have enjoyed every bit of it playing for Pearl Royals in the SA20.

I am thankful to cricket. This sport has given me the opportunity to travel the world and meet different people. I developed lifelong friendships with some wonderful people. Got to play for franchise teams around the world. I will keep these memories with me. After taking retirement from international cricket, I will be able to spend time with my near and dear ones. I will miss the adventure and challenge associated with cricket.
Morgan wrote in his last letter - Even though I am taking Sanyal from cricket, but I will always be connected as a commentator.
