Former England men's white ball captain Eoin Morgan spoke about his playing future, following his side London Spirit's elimination from The Hundred.

The 35-year-old announced his retirement from international cricket in June, earlier this year but continued to represent Middlesex and London Spirit in the respective domestic tournaments. 

Morgan unsure about future post international retirement

On being asked about his plans as a player moving forward, Morgan admitted that he is yet to think about the future of his playing career.  It has been a happy post retirement life for the world cup winner and for the time he hasn't really gave a thought to take a call.

"I'm not quite sure," Morgan said on Sky Sports.

"Tournaments are a long way away next year. Obviously finishing this year has reflected really well on me. I've enjoyed retirement a lot, I love the pod, I love golf, I love spending more time with my family, it's been magnificent."

"But who knows next year?"

Kevin Pietersen gives a hint over Morgan's future

Besides playing in The Hundred, Morgan was also busy doing commentary for Sky Sports. Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, who was also present on the side of the pitch with the Sky Sports experts team, jokingly said about Morgan's future plans. 

"I think he's answered the question about next year," laughed the former England batter. 

"He's coming to join us in the pod (Sky Sports commentary box). He'd rather be in the pod than win a game of cricket."

Morgan had a decent The Hundred season, leading London Spirit into the top three. Morgan himself played couple of good innings in the early stage of The Hundred and scored 130 runs in his nine appearance for the franchise this season.  

He scored a golden duck in the Eliminator and his side suffered a five wicket defeat against Manchester Originals in the Eliminator to missed out on a place in The Hundred final.
