Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Born in NewCastle of New South Wales, Hogan's time of reckoning came in 2009 when he made headlines while playing club cricket in his home town; and that later paved way for a stint with Western Australia the same year where he stirred some outstanding performances with the ball to end up third on the list of leading wicket-takers for Western Australia in summer 2009.
After a brief stint with Western Australia, Hogan swiftly moved to the UK to play for Glamorgan on a British passport and never looked back since. Although Justin Langer, after he took over coaching duties (2012-13), with WA, tried to coax Hogan to stay in his homeland, the gangly pace bowler made up his mind earlier and confirmed his change of status to the former Australian opener.
He later, however, agreed to take part in Sheffield Shield season of 2013-14 as an overseas player for Western Australia and produced 36 wickets for them at an average of 25.86; a season in which WA finished runners-up despite having identical win/loss ratio to that of New South Wales, the eventual winners.
Post that season, Hogan never really entertained any hopes of playing cricket in Australia, but continued to star for his adapted home team, Glamorgan. For three successive years - from 2013 to 2015 - Hogan was, by far, Glamorgan's best bowler and of course, the club's leading wicket taker for the aforementioned duration.
Hogan also holds a peculiar batting record against his name after he stormed to a career-best 57 against Lancashire in 2015 to become the side's top-scorer, slotting at eleven, in that game. He broke the 23-year old record of Simon Daniels who along with Terry Davies stitched a record 143-run stand for the final wicket against Gloucestershire at Swansea.
After finishing as Glamorgan's top Championship wicket-taker for the third successive season in 2015, Hogan expressed his reverence for the club in an interview with the BBC Sport Wales. \"I don't think I could play anywhere else (in UK), I love the club,\" he said.
\"You'll have to ask (chief executive) Hugh Morris but I'd be happy with another three more years, maybe five or six.\" So, if that last sentence is anything to go by, Hogan could endure a few more years for Glamorgan and without a shadow of doubt, will end up as one of the finest fast bowlers to have ever played for the Welsh-based club.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A tall fast bowler originally from New South Wales, Michael Hogan was a latecomer to first-class cricket, only making his debut at 28. After a short time with Western Australia he agreed a deal to play for Glamorgan on a British passport and has produced strong performances in the UK and is considered good enough to play as WA's overseas player.
Hogan, who had been playing club cricket in Newcastle, was called across country by WA for a trial during 2009 and impressed in a successful opening season, especially in the Sheffield Shield, where he collected 23 wickets in seven matches to finish third on Western Australia's wicket tally. When Justin Langer took over as WA coach for the 2012-13 season he tried to persuade Hogan to stay in Australia but the bowler confirmed his change of status. Langer employed Hogan as an overseas player anyway and was rewarded with 36 wickets at 25.86 in the 2013-14 Sheffield Shield, where WA finished as runners-up.
At Glamorgan, Hogan has been outstanding, taking over 100 wickets in all competitions in 2013, his first season in the UK. When he finished as Glamorgan's leading wicket taker for the third successive season in 2015, he was 34 but voiced hopes that he could play for "another three years, maybe five or six" if his body held up.
Although he has few batting pretensions, he also hit a career-best 57 to top score at No 11 against Lancashire in a 2015 season when Glamorgan's tail persistently outscored their top order. The last time a Glamorgan No. 11 top-scored in a Championship innings was in 1982, when Simon Daniels scored 73 against Gloucestershire at Swansea in a record last-wicket stand of 143 with Terry Davies.
He continued to be something of a linchpin in the Glamorgan attack, taking at least 45 wickets in every Championship season and chipping in occasionally in the white-ball sides. He took over as skipper midway through the 2017 season, and continued in the role in 2018, stepping down at the end of the Championship campaign.
