Eoin Morgan has officially confirmed his retirement from international cricket, bringing down the curtain on an illustrious career in a manner that perfectly encapsulates the way he has led England 's white-ball revolution over the last seven-and-a-half years.
As a player, he retires as England's all-time leading run scorer in ODI and T20I cricket, with 6,957 and 2,458 runs respectively. Morgan is also England's most-capped player in both formats, featuring in 225 ODIs and 115 T20Is.
However, it is his overall impact on English cricket as a whole which will be his lasting legacy, more so than the dynamic reverse sweeps and towering sixes. Before making his England debut in 2009, Morgan played 23 ODIs for his native Ireland but always harboured ambitions of representing the Three Lions.
