Glamorgan County Cricket Club
The club is based in Cardiff and plays most of its home games at Sophia Gardens, which is located on the bank of the River Taff. Matches have also occasionally been played at Swansea, Colwyn Bay and Cresselly (despite the latter towns being in Denbighshire and Pembrokeshire respectively).
Michael Hogan (cricketer)
In March 2012, Hogan announced he had signed a three-year contract to play for Glamorgan, the only Wales-based team in English county cricket. Western Australia's captain at the time, Marcus North, was Glamorgan's overseas player for the previous season, and recommended him to the team's coach, Matthew Mott. Qualifying for Glamorgan as the holder of British citizenship by descent (through his mother), Hogan was originally scheduled to play for the team in the last two months of the 2012 English season, but a change in Cricket Australia regulations meant he would have had to play any Australian domestic matches as an overseas player. He decided to postpone playing for Glamorgan until the 2013 English season, thus retaining eligibility to play as a non-overseas player for the remainder of the season in Australia. In July 2012, Hogan re-signed with the Hobart Hurricanes.
