Hugh Morris MBE (born 5 October 1963[1]) is a Welsh former cricketer, who played in three Tests for England in 1991.
[1] A left-handed opening batsman, Morris was Glamorgan's youngest captain at the age of 22 when appointed in 1986, and stood down from the role three years later to concentrate on his batting.
He found the West Indies' pace attack difficult to handle, and in his three Tests scored 115 runs at an average of 19.16,[1] although he did share England's best partnership of the series (112) with Gooch in his second Test,[5] helping England to a rare and series-levelling victory against the West Indies.
[9] Morris equalled Alan Jones' club record for first-class centuries in the deciding fixture against Somerset that year.
[2] Morris was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to cricket and charity.
