Morgan has revolutionised England's limited-overs fortunes, leading them from also-rans at the 2015 World Cup to champions for the first time four years later. But he has been beset by form and fitness issues over the last 12 months and, despite an ambition to lead the side at the T20 World Cup this autumn, the 35-year-old has ultimately decided to walk away.
Jos Buttler is widely expected to step up from his position as deputy to lead the white-ball sides, although the England and Wales Cricket Board has made no mention of who Morgan's replacement will be.
