10 Cricketers who led both U19 and national teams

9. Eoin Morgan (Ireland) – 2006:

Eoin Morgan, an Irish by origin, is perhaps the only players to have played for a different team in the under-19 and then lead another national team in the future. Morgan led the Ireland U19 team with very less success finishing 13th in the tournament. However, he outclassed everyone with the bat hitting 338 runs in 6 matches at an average of 67.60 to finish as the 2nd highest run-getter of the tournament sitting only behind Cheteshwar Pujara.

Morgan played most of his cricket in Ireland. He was a highly rated cricketer and made his international debut at age of just 16 and played 23 ODIs before switching his loyalty to England. His career took a sharp turn due to this decision.

The unorthodox left-hander, known for his six hitting skills, earned a great name. He has scored almost 4000 runs in 145 ODIs for England. Morgan took over the role of captain from Alastair Cook in 2015 and has since then led the Three Lions in 46 matches with a win-loss record of 50 per cent with 23 wins and 27 losses.
