“I am declaring my retirement from all kinds of cricket with tremendous pride. I have determined that the time has come for me to retire from the sport that has provided me with so much over the years “Morgan issued a tweet.
“From 2005, when I moved to England to join Middlesex, to the very end, when I played for Paarl Royals in SA20, I have treasured every minute. There have been highs and lows, as there are in every athlete’s career, but my family and friends have been by my side through it all “he continued.
