She appeared in seven Test matches, 72 One Day Internationals and 28 Twenty20 Internationals for England between 1999 and 2011.

She played domestic cricket for Middlesex, Surrey Stars and South Australia.[1][2]

Early and personal life

[edit]

Morgan was born on the 27 September 1981 in Harrow, Greater London.[2] Her uncle is the former test cricketer Eddie Hemmings who played for England 16 times, who Morgan has said is great to have on the end of the phone for support.[citation needed] When at Nower Hill High School in Pinner, she played for the otherwise all male team, helping them win the Harrow cup against local rivals Hatch End.[citation needed]

Domestic career

[edit]

Morgan played for Middlesex from 1996 to 2019. She played 187 limited-overs and Twenty20 matches for the side, and was the only player to play in every season of the Women's County Championship.[3] She also played one season for the Surrey Stars in the Kia Super League, and two seasons for South Australia.[1]

International career

[edit]

Morgan played seven test matches, 72 one day internationals and 28 T20Is for England.[1] She was a member of England's victorious team in the 2009 World Twenty20 competition, and scored a vital unbeaten 46 from 34 balls in the defeat of Australia in the semi-final.[4] She made her maiden test fifty against Australia in the one-off Ashes test the same year, scoring 58 in almost six hours at the crease.[5] Due to a shoulder injury, she retired from international cricket on 15 January 2013.[6]
