Born on March 14, 1951, in Australia, Hogan made his mark in the cricketing world with his impressive skills on the field.
Despite a relatively short international career, Hogan left a lasting impression with his ability to trouble batsmen with his spin and accuracy.

This remarkable performance was a testament to his abilities as a bowler and earned him recognition on the international stage.

Following his successful Test debut, Hogan was selected for the tour of Pakistan.

Hogan's commitment to the game and his desire to give back to the sport that had given him so much were evident in his work as a selector.

Beyond the field, Hogan's statistics and achievements speak for themselves.
His performance in international cricket may have been relatively short-lived, but his impact was significant.
Despite his limited opportunities, Hogan's Test record stands as a testament to his abilities and remains a worthy accomplishment.
