Player Bio
An ever-reliable fast bowler, Scott Boland is a professional Australian cricketer who arrived on the domestic scene in 2011 and made his international debut five years later. However, it took him 10 years of playing the domestic scene to earn his baggy green, and he never looked back after that.
After a consistent run for his State team, Boland made his ODI debut against the mighty Indians in January 2016 at the WACA and also toured South Africa, West Indies and Sri Lanka with the Australian limited-overs side the following year. He had his breakout domestic season in the 2018-19 Sheffield Shield, striking 48 wickets and leading the Victorians to the title.
Making his debut in the third edition of the Big Bash League (BBL), Boland cemented his place for the Hurricanes after a cluster of appearances in the first three seasons. He was awarded the Hurricanes’ Player of the Tournament award after he struck 17 wickets in the tenth edition of the BBL.
However, the domestic giant had to grind for countless seasons to get into the Test setup for Australia. His breakout moment came during the 2021–22 Ashes, when he was called up as injury cover and made his debut in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG. In a spell that sent shockwaves through the cricketing world, Boland demolished England with figures of 6 for 7 in the second innings. His heroics earned him the prestigious Mullagh Medal and the now-iconic praise: “Boland’s got six at the ‘G’, build the man a statue!” He finished the Ashes series with 18 wickets at a jaw-dropping average of 9.55, immediately cementing his place as a national hero.
Boland continued his impressive form in 2022, starring in the second Test against the West Indies with a devastating three-wicket maiden over. Against South Africa, he was reliably economical, collecting key wickets and reinforcing his reputation as a relentless enforcer.
In the 2023 ICC World Test Championship Final at The Oval, Boland played a vital role in dismantling India’s top order, taking the prized scalps of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Ravindra Jadeja. His performance was instrumental in securing Australia’s victory in the championship decider.
Though used sparingly during the 2023 Ashes in England, he made an impression with his highest Test score of 20, showing grit with the bat in addition to his bowling discipline.
The 2024–25 Border–Gavaskar Trophy was arguably Boland's most dominant series to date. After a brief absence, he returned in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide and later starred in Melbourne and Sydney. At the MCG, he shared a critical 56-run last-wicket stand with Nathan Lyon, setting up a historic win.
Then, at the SCG, he tore through India’s batting with a 10-wicket haul (4/31 & 6/45), earning him the Player of the Match award. Australia clinched the series 3–1, reclaiming the Border–Gavaskar Trophy after a decade. Boland emerged as the third-highest wicket-taker in the series with 21 wickets at a staggering average of 13.02.
Scott Boland's rise has been powered by unflinching accuracy, quiet resilience, and impeccable timing. Whether breaking partnerships or standing tall under pressure, he continues to be a force in Australia's Test setup. As his career gathers momentum, Boland is proving to be one of the most reliable and impactful bowlers of his generation.
