Ben Morris to Leave Glamorgan at Season’s End
Glamorgan will part company with young seamer Ben Morris at the end of the season, drawing a line under a brief first-team spell for the Abergavenny-born quick.
Morris, 22, has been on the fringes of the county side, making a single County Championship appearance and five outings in the One Day Cup. His standout performance came in 2024, when he impressed with figures of 3-52 against Essex, hinting at the potential that first brought him into Glamorgan’s plans.
His most recent first-team appearance arrived in August 2025, a reminder of how hard it has been for him to break into a settled attack on a regular basis.
Away from Glamorgan colours, Morris has been a familiar face in Welsh cricket circles, turning out for the successful Cardiff UCCE side and representing Wales National County, where his pace and work rate have continued to earn him opportunities.
Reflecting on his exit, Morris said: “I have enjoyed my time at the club, but I feel I still have a lot to offer in cricket and remain open to new opportunities, while being ready to explore a career away from it.”
It is a candid admission from a player standing at a crossroads, balancing the pursuit of a professional career with the realities of a crowded county landscape.
His departure follows that of veteran batter and wicketkeeper Chris Cooke, the 40-year-old having already announced his retirement. One experienced stalwart stepping away, one young seamer moving on. Glamorgan’s dressing room will look and feel different next season, and Morris now faces the challenge – and the freedom – of deciding where his game, and his future, go next.
