Profile

A developing fast bowler who made his first-class debut at the age of 19 in 2016, Richardson's claim to fame was his successful outing in the BBL that season. He was consistently among the wickets and capped it off with a Man of the Match performance in the final to help Perth Scorchers clinch the title. His exploits earned him a national call-up for the T20I series at home Sri Lanka as the selectors named a very inexperienced squad due to the fact that the big boys were preparing for the tour of India.

Richardson featured in two T20Is and didn't do anything of note. He had played just a solitary first-class game at the time of his international debut. Richardson started the 2017-18 season nicely and followed it up with an impressive BBL season which saw him get a call up for the ODI series against England at home. He was handed a debut and looked fairly impressive, working up a good pace and hitting the bat hard.

He was named in Australia's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup but unfortunately missed out after not recovering in time from a dislocated shoulder. He was a part of Australia's squad for the 2021/22 Ashes at home and picked up his maiden fifer in the second Test at Adelaide.
