The Guardian reported night that Morgan was considering his future and he looks set to announce his international retirement.

But the right-handed batter has been struggling with injury issues and missed Wednesday's third and final ODI against the Netherlands with a "groin niggle".
Jos Buttler, who led the team in Morgan's absence to a 3-0 series win in the Netherlands, is the favourite to take over the reins.
Morgan, 35, made his international debut (for Ireland) in an ODI against Scotland on August 5 in 2006, and has since played 248 ODIs, 115 T20Is and 16 Tests, scoring 7701, 2458 and 700 runs respectively. His runs and matches in the ODIs and T20Is are England records.
England's Test side, led by Ben Stokes, are on the cusp of sealing a 3-0 series sweep against visiting England. On the final day of the third Test, they need 113 runs.
They will next face India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham starting July 1.
It will be followed by three T20Is and three ODIs.
