Travis Birt - Australia - Batsman

A powerful left-handed batsman with long levers, Travis Birt has been pigeon-holed as a T20 specialist. He made his T20I debut for Australia in February 2010, and has played 4 games since then. He is also a well travelled T20 cricketer as evidenced by his stints with Wellington Firebirds, Delhi Daredevils, Nagenahira Nagas, Khulana Royal Bengals and Hobart Hurricanes. He holds the record for smashing the fastest fifty in Australian domestic T20 cricket.

A former academy and Australia Under-19 player, Birt was given his first-class debut in the 2004-05 season. However, he is yet to gain a foothold in the longer format.
