Top 10 celebrity cricket fans around the world

Piers Morgan

The bete noire of British television personality Jeremy Clarkson and former editor of the tabloid News of the World was a promising fast bowler in his early years, and has remained a lifelong fan of the game ever since.

Morgan has played for his local team in the Newick region of English county Sussex since 1978, and has also hosted a game between his family and the Newick side since 2000, which included a famous “ringer”; the 2008 game had England batsman Kevin Pietersen in that role. A controversial character whether in front of the camera or off it, the 48-year old remains one of the many British celebrities to know about, and have admiration for, the gentleman’s game.
