Western AustraliaBowler
Richardson is an Australian fast bowler who first appeared in first-class cricket in 2016, when he was 19 years old. He rose to prominence that same season in the BBL, where he took wickets regularly for Perth Scorchers. His campaign ended on a high: he was named Man of the Match in the final as the Scorchers won the championship.
That form brought him into the national side for a home T20I series against Sri Lanka. The selectors picked a squad short on experience for those matches, since the senior players were getting ready for a tour of India. When he made his international debut, Richardson had only one first-class appearance to his name. He played in two T20Is during the series without making a significant impact.
He opened the 2017-18 season in good touch and then produced another strong BBL campaign. Those performances earned him a place in the squad for Australia's home ODI series against England, and he was given his debut in the format. Observers rated the outing as fairly promising, with Richardson generating good pace and striking the bat with force.
Richardson was included in Australia's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, but a dislocated shoulder did not heal in time and he was unable to take part. He later featured in the home squad for the 2021/22 Ashes, and in the second Test, played at Adelaide, he claimed the first five-wicket haul of his career.
