Michael Hogan (cricketer)

Michael Garry Hogan (born 31 May 1981) is an Australian former professional cricketer who played for Glamorgan and Kent County Cricket Clubs in English domestic cricket, and for Western Australia and the Hobart Hurricanes in Australia.

Born in Newcastle, New South Wales, Hogan originally played in local grade cricket matches, eventually moving to the Sydney grade cricket competition. A right-arm fast bowler, he was recruited to Western Australia prior to the 2009–10 season, and went on to make his debut in the first match of that season. A regular in Western Australia's first-class team from that season onwards, Hogan soon became one of the state's leading fast bowlers, taking 46 wickets in the 2011–12 season of the Sheffield Shield to finish second in the competition's wicket-taking. Holding dual Australian and British citizenship, in March 2012 he signed to play county cricket for Glamorgan.
