AustraliaAll-rounder
Cooper Connolly is a cricketer from Western Australia who bats left-handed and bowls slow left-arm. He was trusted with leading Australia's under-19 side at the 2022 edition of the tournament. His own returns there were modest, with 73 runs and 5 wickets across the event.
Solid domestic form afterwards drew the attention of the Perth Scorchers, who recruited him for the 2023 edition. He repaid their faith in the final, hitting 25 from 11 balls as the Scorchers lifted the trophy. The 2023-24 season then brought both his first-class and List A debuts, each of them for Western Australia.
His progress carried him onto the international stage. He first represented Australia in 2024 in a match against Scotland. In 2025 he was picked for the tour of Sri Lanka, which included a couple of Tests, and he earned his Test debut there. The outing gave him few chances to show what he could offer with both bat and ball.
That same year, 2025, he was named as a travelling reserve for the Champions Trophy. When Matt Short was injured, Connolly was promoted into the main squad.
