From an early age, it was clear that Morgan was destined for cricketing greatness, with a natural flair for the wicketkeeper’s role. His early days were spent playing in local clubs where his sharp reflexes and keen cricketing mind began to draw attention.

His journey to the professional sphere was a combination of perseverance and talent. Morgan’s big break came when he made his debut for Somerset County Cricket Club in 2018, shortly after turning eighteen.
