Glamorgan County Cricket Club is delighted to confirm that Club President, David Morgan, has been nominated as the next President of the MCC.
His 12 month tenure will begin on 1st October 2014, and encompass the 2015 Investec Ashes Series.
Commenting on the appointment, Glamorgan Chief Executive, Hugh Morris, said; I am absolutely delighted to hear the news of David Morgan's appointment as President of the MCC. I have worked closely with David for over 30 years, and I have no doubt he will make an outstanding contribution to the famous Club over the next 12 months.
Barry O'Brien, Chairman of Glamorgan CCC, added; David Morgan is one of the world's most admired and respected cricket administrators. The appointment completes the remarkable achievement of David holding the posts of Chairman of Glamorgan CCC, Chairman of ECB, President of ICC and now President of MCC. The prospect of being MCC President, and Glamorgan President, in a year in which each Club is hosting an Investec Ashes Test match, will be a unique experience and one which I am sure David is relishing.
Following the announcement David Morgan said; While I am honoured to have been nominated by Mike Gatting as President Designate of the MCC, this will not diminish my commitment to Glamorgan in any way. I look forward to an exciting 12 months including the Investec Ashes Series.
