Brendan Doggett's Cricket Journey
Playing for Queensland
At the start of the 2016-17 cricket season, Brendan Doggett received a special contract with the Queensland Bulls. This made him one of the few Indigenous Australian players to have such a contract with the team.
Even though he had a contract, he did not play for the Queensland Bulls that season. Instead, he played his first List A matches for the Cricket Australia XI team. This was during the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup. In his very first game, he took his first List A wicket by bowling out another Queensland player. He took six wickets in total during the tournament.
In the 2017–18 season, Brendan played his first games for Queensland in the 2017–18 JLT One-Day Cup. He took five wickets in four matches for the team. After that, he made his first-class debut in the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season. In his first time bowling in a first-class game, he took four wickets for only 33 runs. This helped his team bowl out Victoria for a low score. In February 2018, he achieved a big milestone by taking five wickets in one innings for the first time in a first-class match.
Playing for South Australia
In 2021, Brendan Doggett moved to Adelaide and began playing for the South Australia team. He continued to show his skills as a bowler there.
In the 2024-25 Sheffield Shield Final, Brendan was named the best player of the match. He took an amazing 11 wickets in that game. This included six wickets in the first innings and five wickets in the second. His excellent bowling helped South Australia win their first Sheffield Shield title in 29 years. His total of 11 wickets for 140 runs was the best bowling performance ever in a Sheffield Shield final.
Playing in County Cricket
In February 2025, Brendan Doggett signed a short contract with Durham County Cricket Club. He played for them in the first two months of the 2025 County Championship season in England.
International Opportunities
In September 2018, Brendan Doggett was chosen to be part of Australia's Test team. This was for their series against Pakistan. However, he did not get to play in any of the matches during that series.
Brendan was later selected for the Australia A squad in 2024. This was as a replacement player for the India A tour of Australia. In the first unofficial Test match, he took his third "five-wicket haul," which means he took six wickets for only 15 runs. In November 2024, he was added to the main Australian Test squad. This happened before the second Test of the Indian tour of Australia, as a replacement for another injured player.
