Eoin Morgan

Eoin Joseph Gerard Morganis an Irish and English former cricketer and current commentator. He captained the England cricket team in limited overs cricket from 2015 until his international retirement in June 2022. Under his captaincy, England won the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, the first time they won the tournament, along with reaching the finals of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, where the team lost to the West Indies by 4 wickets. Morgan was a member of the England team that won the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.

A left-handed batsman, Morgan played county cricket for Middlesex and England's Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International (T20I) teams. He previously played for the Ireland cricket team (the country of his birth) in ODIs, and was the first player to score an ODI hundred for two nations.

After Alastair Cook was removed from the ODI captaincy on 19 December 2014, Morgan was named as the England captain for the 2015 Cricket World Cup, having already captained England in ODIs and T20Is as a stand-in. He is the only England captain to have scored more than 4 ODI centuries. As of June 2022, Morgan is the all-time leading run scorer and most-capped player for England in both ODI and T20I matches. During the 2019 ICC World Cup he scored the highest number of sixes in an ODI innings, with 17 sixes against Afghanistan.

In March 2021, Morgan became the first male cricketer for England to play in 100 T20Is (57 as captain), in the third match against India.

On 13 February 2023, he announced his retirement from all forms of the game.
