He will succeed the outgoing president Charlotte Edwards, to become the role’s tenth incumbent.During his time as England captain, Morgan sat on the Team England Player Partnership (TEPP) Management Board.”Having been a PCA member for 19 years, it gives me an overwhelming sense of gratitude and honour to be provided this prestigious opportunity,” Morgan said.”As we navigate through an ever-changing landscape of cricket, the role of the PCA is even more critical. We must ensure that the organisation adapts and innovates to safeguard the evolving needs of our players, to enable them to thrive on and off the field.”I am also looking forward to supporting the Professional Cricketers’ Trust which has always been close to my heart and will hopefully enable me to give something back to the game.”PCA Chair, James Harris, said: “What Eoin Morgan has achieved for England cricket is indisputable.

I very much look forward to seeking his wise counsel as we continue to navigate the changing nature of the game to ensure the player voice is represented in the many debates that lie ahead.”I could not think of any player with more global experience than Eoin to help us achieve our goals.”
