Eoin Joseph Gerard Morgan CBE is an Irish and English former cricketer and current commentator. He captained the England cricket team in limited-overs cricket from 2015 until his international retirement in June 2022. He is widely considered as one of the greatest ever captains of England.

Biography

Under his captaincy, England won the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, the first time they won the tournament, along with reaching the finals of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, where the team lost to the West Indies by 4 wickets. Morgan was a member of the England team that won the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.

Career

Morgan was born on 10 September 1986 in Dublin and brought up in Rush, where his father Jody was from; his mother Olivia is English. He learned to play cricket at Rush Cricket Club, where his father was Third XI captain.

He was educated at the Catholic University School on Leeson Street, where he played in three Leinster Senior Schools Cup champion teams. In his early teens, Morgan played hurling twice a week. Often questioned as to its influence in the development of his skills as a batsman, Morgan downplays this, aside from possibly the reverse sweep, where the grip is the same as for hurling.
