Brendan Doggett - Australia - Bowler

Easy to spot in a team gathering, the towering fast bowler from Toowoomba saw a meteoric rise to the top after an impressive Shield debut in which he took 4 wickets in his first outing, including that of the Big Show Glenn Maxwell. He had already been picked for Queensland in the futures league after being scouted, and was handed a rookie contract by the Brisbane Heat as well. He made his 50-over debut in the JLT cup and picked up the sole wicket of Ben Cutting while playing for the Cricket Australia XI.

Doggett received a rookie contract from the Queensland Bulls in 2016 but didn't get a game. His List-A debut eventually came in the 2016/17 Matador Cup playing for Cricket Australia XI. He made his first-class debut playing for Queensland the following season before making the move to South Australia in 2021/22.

In the BBL, Doggett played for the Brisbane Heat for a couple of seasons starting 2017/18 before moving to the Sydney Thunder in 2019/20. In 2023/24, Doggett turned up to play for the Adelaide Strikers.
