Why is this person described as an 'Irish' cricker? Surely choosing you can't be one nationality but play for a different country? There are many examples, but please refer to Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Strauss or Ben Hutton - all born outside England but referred to as English in their respective biographys.
I feel we should be consistant throughout and, if there are no objections, will update. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.80.142.61 ( talk) 20:34, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
He is an Irish cricketer who plays for England. You do not need to be English to play for the England cricket team, any number of Welsh and Scots nationals have played for England since the dawn of international cricket. For historical reasons, the England cricket team represents more than just England. Morgan is no different. I daresay Robert Croft would not take too kindly to being classed as "English". -- Mattinbgn\ talk 00:07, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
How does English cricketer of Irish nationality sound? It isn't neat but this is a difficult one. As he plays his cricket for England he is an English international, an English Cricketer and yet he still remains Irish. He is best known for playing for England but most certainly isn't English.

Kieswatter is described as thus on wikipedia " Craig Kieswetter (born 28 November 1987) is a England cricketer of South African and Scottish heritage. " Spudbynight ( talk) 06:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Your source for Morgan being Irish is his profile on the cricinfo website, which makes no mention of him being Irish, but describes him as an "Irish born Englishman". I would suggest that wikipedia adopts the same. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.143.154.96 ( talk) 15:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Was there ever a consensus on what to do here? I see someone has just changed it back to "an Irish cricketer" which I'm going to revert, but happy to put back if I'm missing a clear resolution. Spike 'em ( talk) 09:08, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
In this article discussing another player's eligibility, Morgan started that his mother is English and that he had held a British passport since birth. If he had always been a dual national should the lead reflect this? Spike 'em ( talk) 08:10, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
There had been some edit warring on this again I've changed back to "Irish-born" and added the link above to the youth section. Unless someone can provide a source to show he is not British then I think this is the best solution, and is used on other cricketers who do not play for the country of their birth.

"On 2 March 2010, Morgan became the first ever player to score centuries for two nations, as he scored an unbeaten 110 against Bangladesh." Kepler Wessels did this are far back as 1992 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.174.202.26 ( talk) 14:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
In the 'International centuries' section, we have place name as 'England' next to the flag of the UK. Suggest the place should be renamed UK or the flag replaced with the flag of St. George. Dublinblue (Simon in Dublin) ( talk) 15:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Morgan has been the captain of the Egland T20I team for a considerable length of time and made 81 appearances in this format. I believe it should be changed to Test -> ODI -> T20I -> FC. Currently, his List A stats are getting preference and I do not believe they should, other players pages go with the suggested format i.e. Virat Kohli. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beast01998 ( talk • contribs) 00:45, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
