Ben Cutting Biography, Age, Height, Weight, Family, Wiki & More

Ben Cutting is a tall right-handed Australian fast bowler who can also make valuable contributions with the bat. He represented Australia at the 2006 Under-19 World Cup and did fairly well. Though he did not pick up many wickets, his economy rate was very good. The next year, in 2007, he made his first-class debut with Queensland and impressed everyone.

 

Cutting also played a few games for Western Australia and New South Wales in the List A format. Due to his all-around abilities, Big Bash League side Brisbane Heat roped him into their squad for the inaugural edition in 2011/12 and has been a regular member of the side since then. He also traveled with the team to India to play the Champions League T20 in 2013. At the 2014 IPL auctions, he was bought by the Rajasthan Royals to play the 7th edition of the IPL but didn't get many games, Kane Richardson, Tim Southee and James Faulkner were preferred ahead of him.

 

The Australia selectors rewarded his efforts in the domestic circuit by handing him an ODI cap in 2013 for the home series against Sri Lanka. He also played the T20I series against the same opposition but lost his place in the side soon after.

 

He might be getting opportunities right now but an extended run with the national side is not too far away for Cutting, who does well with both bat and ball. He was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2016 player auctions and was adjourned man of the match of the finals in IPL 2016.
