Profile
Eoin Morgan is undoubtedly the star of the current Ireland side following the departure of Ed Joyce to England. He captained the Irish team at the 2006 Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka finishing with an average of 67.60, and was a member of the teams that played in the 2003-04 tournament in Bangladesh. He is a talented left-handed middle-order batman, who broke into the Middlesex first XI in 2006 after some solid performances for the second team. He was an NBC Denis Compton award winner in 2003 and 2004 and has enjoyed plenty of success in the Intercontinental Cup hitting 151 of 150 balls in the 2005 semi-final against UAE, then scoring 209 not out against the same opponents to put his side into the final in 2007. That knock followed his successful time in Kenya with Ireland at the World Cricket League where he averaged 52.20 including his first ODI century against Canada, a superb 115 from 106 balls. He has attended the ICC Winter Training Camps in South Africa and represented Ireland at every level from the Under-13s. The star showed signs of fading in 2007. He was disappointing in the World Cricket League and, in the World Cup - while showing fleeting glimpses of his class and potential - he finished with just 91 runs in his nine games.
