Eoin Morgan ponders retirement

A few days ago, England ODI captain Eoin Morgan set an exceptional record. While his team is busy setting records against the Netherlands, Morgan is dimmed with the bat. He was out for zero in the first two matches but did not get down in the third match due to an injury. As a result, Morgan finished the series with zero runs as the first winning captain in history.

Now it is heard that the World Cup winning captain of England is thinking about retirement. Morgan has not been in form since winning the 2019 World Cup. As a result, he did not get a team in the last IPL. There are also injury problems. However, the English media has expressed doubts about whether there was an injury problem in the last match against the Netherlands. According to The Guardian, Morgan is considering retirement.

However, Morgan’s recent injury has raised questions for other reasons. He did not play in the last match due to a groin injury last week. But he played in a corporate match on Saturday. Morgan withdrew from a charity match on Tuesday after discussions began over whether a groin injury could heal so quickly.

Even if Morgan retires, there is curiosity about whether it is from two versions or just from ODIs. Because this year the T20 World Cup will be held in Australia. The ODI World Cup will be held in India next year. However, as soon as Morgan retires, England has the option of captain. Jos Buttler has been the English vice-captain since 2015. He has already led in 13 matches.

There are just 6 months before the T20 World Cup. At such a moment, the departure of the regular captain of the team is expected to have an impact on the team. Although there are a lot of alternative batsmen to replace Morgan in the batting department. Morgan’s bat has not been smiling recently.

Morgan has scored only two half-centuries in the last 28 matches, including ODIs and T20s. However, injury problems might be a cause for the retirement of the English captain. “If I think I’m not feeling good enough and I’m not comfortable with the team, I’ll say goodbye,” Morgan told Sky Sports ahead of the tour of the Netherlands. Nonetheless, we will have to wait for an official announcement.
