Eoin Joseph Gerard Morgan was born on 10 September 1986 in Dublin, Ireland. He is the son of Jody and Olivia Morgan and has four siblings—Laura, Gareth, Gwen, and Gavin. Known by the nickname "Moggie," Eoin developed a passion for cricket at a young age. His early interest in hurling played a role in shaping his batting skills. Morgan attended Catholic University School in Dublin and later briefly studied at Dulwich College in London, which helped further foster his interest in playing cricket in England.
Morgan played for Ireland at several youth levels, including the Under-15, Under-17, and Under-19 teams. He represented Ireland in both the 2004 and 2006 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cups. His strong performances at the junior level earned him a place in Ireland’s senior national team, for which he made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 5 August 2006 against Scotland.
He went on to play 23 ODIs for Ireland and was part of their squad for the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup. Notably, he scored a double century in a first-class match against the UAE, marking a historic achievement in Irish cricket, though not in ODIs as sometimes mistakenly reported.
Being Irish by birth, Morgan initially represented Ireland before making the switch to play for England. He made his first-class debut for Middlesex on 5 July 2008, where he impressed with a well-crafted century. That same year, he was a part of the Middlesex team that won the Twenty20 Cup. His leadership potential became evident when he was appointed captain of Middlesex at the age of 22. He quickly made an impact, leading his team to a notable win against Kent in the County Championship.
In 2010, Morgan entered the Indian Premier League (IPL) when he was signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore for $220,000. From 2011 to 2015, he played for the Kolkata Knight Riders before moving to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Morgan later also turned out for other franchises, including Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders (in a second stint), contributing as a reliable middle-order batsman known for his adaptability and leadership.
