England White ball Skipper Eoin Morgan is likely announce his retirement this week - Reports

England's world champion captain Eoin Morgan has opted not only to give up the captaincy role but is likely to end his 13-year international career for England, Britain's The Guardian newspaper has reported.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/eoin-morgan-28_06_2022.jpg">England cricket white-ball captain <a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/101/eoin-morgan">Eoin Morgan</a>, who led England to World Cup triumph in 2019, could announce his retirement from international cricket this week, according to a report in The Guardian.According to the information, England's white-ball captain Morgan, who has been struggling with a lack of form and a string of injuries, has reportedly decided to hang up his football boots from international cricket. 

 The reports also suggest that the world champion captain would announce his retirement this week, eventually leaving a vacant captaincy.The 35-year-old, who made his ODI debut for Ireland in 2006 as a 16-year-old before being called up by England in 2009, has played 248 ODIs and 115 T20Is for a total of 10,159 runs. He has also played in 16 Tests, scoring 700 runs. 

Batsman Jos Buttler, who has been Morgan's second-in-command since 2015 and has led white-ball teams 13 times, was considered a favorite to be the next captain. 

Eoin Morgan has not scored a T20 or ODI result in almost a year and his form had raised questions ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year, as well as England's defense of their 50-over title in 2023. 

He suffered a minor quadriceps injury in January after consecutive games in a T20 series with the West Indies and missed the third ODI against the Netherlands last week with a groin problem after hitting ducks in the first two games of the series.Earlier this month, newly appointed white-ball coach Matthew Mott said Morgan would know when it was the right time to step down, adding that the player was still "a long way" from where he found his place in the team is no longer worth .

Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes support that Eoin Morgan is a 'phenomenal leader'

Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler have backed Eoin Morgan to do well and expected the southpaw to be at his best again in the future.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ben-morgan-23_06_2022.jpg"><a href="https://www.bdcrictime.com/player/profile/101/eoin-morgan">Eoin Morgan </a>led England to their first 50-over World Cup title in 2019, but he himself has been without half a century in one-day internationals and Twenty20s for almost a year.The batter registered two consecutive ducks against the Netherlands and missed Wednesday's game due to a tight bar which England won by eight wickets, completing a 3-0 ODI clean sweep.On Wednesday 22 June, England handed the Netherlands a 3-0 defeat with an eight-wicket win in the third and final game of their ODI series at the VRA Ground in Amstelveen. 

Left-hander Morgan had a torrid time in the series after scoring two ducks in a row. He missed the third game due to a groin injury and Buttler led the Three Lions. 

It has been almost a year since the 35-year-old batter scored half a century in limited overs cricket for Britain. His poor form has also raised questions about his selection for the T20 World Championship later this year in Australia.“His position is certainly not in question within the camp. I cannot put into words what he has achieved. Everyone always talks about his captaincy but you forget what a brilliant batsman he was in over 200 ODIs for England - it doesn't just go away overnight. Everyone on the team supports him," Sky Sports Buttler quoted as saying."Well he's only had two low scores so I wouldn't say he's going through a tough time at the moment," England Test captain Stokes was quoted as saying to reporters. 

"I think the press is the only one making life difficult for him and I think the players have shown that it's not a problem for them."People aren't allowed to score a lot of runs and on top of that he's our captain. He's a phenomenal leader and always will be so I have no issues with anything being wrong with him at the moment," added Stokes.

“Luke Wood deserves his draft. He has been consistent for Lancashire over the past 12 months and we have been monitoring his progress. If he gets the chance to play he will surely make the most of his opportunity. 

“This is a historic event for the sport and the first time England Men have played the Netherlands in an ODI series. We can't wait to go to Amsterdam and put on a show for the thousands of fans who have come to support the team.

Morgan reveals he's jealous of England Test side

England limited-overs cricket
skipper Eoin Morgan has said that he’s jealous of the England Test side because
they get a great man like Brendon McCullum as head coach of the team.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/morgan-mccullum-26_05_2022.jpg">Morgan and McCullum played
against each other many times in their career. Also, they had been colleagues
in the Indian Premier League (IPL) too for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
franchise as a captain and coach.
Recently, England and Wales
Cricket Board (ECB) has appointed former New Zealand skipper as the head of the
Test side after their humiliation in Ashes against Australia and lost the Test
series against West Indies by 1-0 recently. 
&nbsp;“It’s unbelievably exciting,” Morgan told
Sportsmail. “In many ways I’m jealous of the Test players because, having
played both with him and under him, I know what a great man-manager Baz is.
“The best head coaches have this
ability to lighten things up and reiterate what direction you’re going in, what
your purpose is. It’s a brilliant appointment and it says not only a huge
amount about English Test cricket but Test cricket in general. We need to be
competitive for it to flourish.”
McCullum will start his coaching
career for England with the series against his own country. England will face
New Zealand for three-match Test series in next month.

A finisher who can play shots around the wicket, Morgan became an instant hit in the limited-over formats for both countries. Eoin Morgan came into the limelight when he started playing reverse sweeps that no other player could time as well as he could.

He previously played for the Ireland cricket team in ODIs and was the first player to score an ODI hundred for two nations. 

After Alastair Cook was removed from the post of ODI captain on 19 December 2014, Morgan was appointed England captain for the 2015 Cricket World Cup, having already captained England in ODIs and T20Is as a deputy. He is the only English captain to have scored more than 4 ODI centuries. 

As of May 2021, Morgan is the all-time all-time run scorer and most capped player for England in both ODI and T20I matches. He also holds the England record for fastest 50 at ODIs and hit the highest number of sixes in an ODI innings during the 2019 ICC World Cup with 17 sixes against Afghanistan.

He learned to play cricket at Rush Cricket Club where his father Jody was Third XI captain. He was educated at Catholic University School on Leeson Street, where he played in three Leinster Senior Schools Cup winning teams. In his early teens, Morgan played hurling twice a week and this helped to some extent develop his skills as a hitter, especially since the grip for hurling is the same as for the reverse sweep.

He scored the highest number of points in England's group games against the West Indies and his native Ireland, and in the Super Eights game against New Zealand. Due to effective team bowling and the half centuries of Kevin Pietersen and Craig Kieswetter, he was hardly needed in the semi-finals against Sri Lanka and in the final against Australia, not finishing in either match.

Eoin Morgan ruled out of the T20I series after sustaining a quad injury

Eoin Morgan, the England team's white-ball captain, has been ruled out of the remaining two T20Is against West Indies with a minor quadriceps injury, the ECB announced on Thursday (27 January).<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/eoin-morgan-ruled-out-28_01_2022.png"> Morgan sat out England's 20-run loss in the third game on Wednesday, with Moeen Ali stepping in as his substitute after experiencing right thigh pain during the pre-game warm-up. 

An ECB statement added: "Follow-up testing revealed that he sustained a right hamstring injury which, although relatively minor, will prevent him from playing any further games during the current tour."Morgan's performance in the first two matches was not good and in the first match he hit 17 and only 12 runs. Moeen Ali, who did not play in the first game, became the player who won the Player of the Match award in the second game. Aside from hitting 31 carries, he also put in an amazing performance at bowling, winning three wickets for 24 carries. The fourth game between England and the West Indies will be played on January 39, while the fifth and final T20 game will be played on January 30.Although England are currently regarded as the No. 1 T20I team in the world, Morgan had seen this campaign as an opportunity to broaden his options ahead of the next T20 World Cup in Australia in November. 

"The whole Tour is one where developing our game is more important than a series win," Morgan said ahead of the first T20I. "We've gone through this process before and identified the level of intensity, and our performance is far more important than the result." 

The Caribbean squad was already missing a core of proven performers, including Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood, all rested after their involvement in the Ashes, while Jofra Archer was absent following his recent elbow surgery - although he was trained again with his teammates on this trip.However, Moeen didn't have the best games as captain as he passed just one ball in the third game and conceded 14 of the 224 goals scored by the West Indies thanks to Rovman Powell's first T20I clay. Tom Banton and Philip Salt scored fifty points but England could only manage 204 in return, with Moeen dismissed for a duck. 

The fourth and fifth T20Is will be played on January 29th and 30th respectively.

Eoin Morgan: Laughable to point the finger at The Hundred

England suffered a 4-0 loss at Ashes Down Under and only a dismal partnership between Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson in the last wicket of the fourth Test in Sydney helped the tourists avoid a clean win.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/eoin-morgan-laughable-to-point-20_01_2022.png"> England limited captain Eoin Morgan has slammed his country's Test skipper Joe Root for blaming The Hundred and T20 for the team's crushing defeat in the Ashes recently, saying: "It's laughable to point the finger to point to The Hundred". 
England suffered a 4-0 defeat at Ashes Down Under and only a dismal last-wicket partnership between Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson in the fourth Test in Sydney helped the Tourists avoid a clean win. Root has since openly said that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) prioritized limited-overs cricket at the expense of red ball games and singled out The Hundred for criticism. 
Root has since openly said that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) prioritized limited-overs cricket at the expense of red ball games and singled out The Hundred for criticism. 
Morgan, who led England to the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup against New Zealand in the United Arab Emirates in November, said the longer format of cricket had always been the priority for the ECB. "People who use [limited cricket] as an excuse don't watch cricket," Morgan told: "Test match cricket has always been a priority - it's the format for our elite players. 
Morgan said that England's structuring of county cricket and The Hundred is in no way different from Australia's, noting that people look for scapegoats after losses and The Hundred is their best excuse. 
“Our County Cricket and The Hundred formats are exactly the same as Australia in the way they are structured. People need something to blame so they're pointing to what's probably the furthest point of reality, because no one wants to say, 'You know what, we didn't have the preparation that we wished we had, we probably didn't play the way we would have liked and we lost. 

"It happens in all formats but I stress that Test match cricket has always been the priority," Morgan said. 

Morgan also said that for most of his cricket career, limited-overs cricket was second fiddle, an "afterthought".“Obviously times have been tough in Australia during the Ashes at the moment but they always are. We lost the last two series 0:4. 

"It's laughable to point fingers at The Hundred. The Hundred is an incredible success.”

Current England captain Eoin Morgan and current Pakistan captain Babar Azam were particularly impressive on their two appearances at the U19 World Cricket Championships. Morgan, who played for Ireland at the time, holds the record for most runs in the history of the U19 World Cup, while Babar Azam is the tournament's second-highest runner. 
Eoin Morgan is best known for leading England to glory in the 2019 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, but after scoring many runs as Ireland's representative, he is the leading running scorer in the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cups. 

Morgan would become Ireland's youngest ever senior international, but before that he starred in both the 2004 and 2006 ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cups.Morgan played 13 games in the World Championships and scored 606 runs with an average of 50.50 while Babar played 12 games and scored 585 runs with an average of 58.50.Let’s have a look at the top run-scorers in Under-19 World Cups:

Ready to get dropped for team : Morgan

England skipper Eoin Morgan had a disaster of a season as batsman in the Indian Premier League- IPL recently. But he will not think twice to drop himself from the team line up if the drought with his bat continues.&nbsp;<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/Morgan Stokes England.jpg">Ready to get dropped for team :MorganMorgan is passing a tough time. It is one his worst period in the Twenty/20 format. He scored only 133 runs at a horrible average of only 11.71 runs in last nine matches&nbsp;at&nbsp;Indian Premier League- IPL which&nbsp; just concluded last week.&nbsp; His such form with the willow can worry his team. Though it was unpleasing while with the bat but Morgan is pretty much satisfied with his captaincy. During a interview with BBC he has said that he will not be a obstacle for England Cricket Team in winning ICC World Twenty/20.<blockquote>"I will not continue if there is&nbsp;as a issue due to me towards England to win the World Cup. I was not scoring well but I had a great season as a captain there," says Morgan.</blockquote>The English captain's form in Indian Premier League- IPL as well recent seven matches with National Team will be a concern for both him and the Three Lions. But if required he will not hesitate to drop himself from the team.Eoin Morgan added, "The option is always on cards for the benefit of the team".England Cricket Team has lost to Team India in their Warm Up game ahead of the ICC World Twenty/20. Morgan was not in the line up for the match. It was their Wicket-Keeper batsman Jos Butler who led the side.&nbsp;

Shakib has probably won us two games: David Hussey

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
reached the final of the 14th edition of the IPL defeating Delhi
Capitals by 6 wickets yesterday in Sharjah. After winning the second qualifier
match, team mentor David Hussey praised Shakib Al Hasan and hoped to get him in
the final match as well.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/shakib-kkr-14_10_2021.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">Bangladesh team are currently
preparing for the upcoming T20 World Cup as they will have to play the first round
of the tournament. Their first match is against Scotland on October 17, so
there’s uncertainty over Shakib’s participation in the final, which is on
October 15. But Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has already confirmed that they’ve
increased the time of Shakib’s No-objection Certificate (NOC) and he’ll join
the national team after finishing the Indian Premier League (IPL). 
<blockquote>“Yes, of course he (Shakib Al
Hasan) is available. He is a fine player he has probably won us two games.
Everyone is going to be available for selection and it is going to be a tough
call for the head coach,” </blockquote>Hussey said. 
The opening batsmen-Venkatesh Iyer
and Shubman Gill of KKR are playing well but their middle-order especially
captain Eoin Morgan is not able to do that. But behind this, he sees the
opposition of the pitch with a smile.
"I'm not concerned because
they're all classy players," Hussey said. "They know how to play.
It's just the difficult nature of the pitches that we've been playing on, it
makes the middle-order players sort of stand out. They're not getting their
strike rates to 200, they have to knuckle down and maybe go at a strike rate of
110 to 120.
"But we've got full
confidence in Morgan, Dinesh Karthik and Shakib going into the next game.
They've done it countless times for their countries and in the IPL, so [we are]
not concerned. We go to Dubai full of confidence and you just never know what's
gonna happen," Hussey added.
KKR will face MS Dhoni-led
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the final of the IPL 2021.
