Mitchell Swepson

His fast arm action and a well-disguised flipper drew particular praise, as many batsmen struggled to pick it and found the ball arriving quicker than they expected. In domestic first-class cricket he made a strong early impression in the Sheffield Shield, collecting 17 wickets from 6 matches in the 2015/16 season. Representing Australia A, he did even better against South Africa A and India A, two strong batting sides, taking 14 wickets across 3 first-class games at an average of 19.35. That haul included figures of 4/33 against the South Africans and 4/78 against the Indians.

Steady improvement and reliable Shield returns brought him into the national squad for the tour of India in early 2017, though he sat out every match as Nathan Lyon and Steve O'Keefe got the nod. A similar story followed in August 2017, when he travelled to Bangladesh but again missed out on a place in the XI. His first international appearance finally arrived in 2018 in the T20I format, against England.

In franchise cricket, Swepson joined the Brisbane Heat ahead of the 2015/16 Big Bash League and has remained with the side ever since.
