Brendan James Doggett (born 3 May 1994) is an Australian international cricketer. He plays in the test side of the Australia national team as a right-arm fast-medium bowler.[1] Doggett is of Worimi heritage and is the fifth First Nations person to represent Australia in test cricket.[2] He represents South Australia in domestic cricket and Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League.[3][4]
Queensland
At the beginning of the 2016–17 season, Doggett earned a rookie contract with the Queensland Bulls, becoming just the second Indigenous Australian to have a contract with the team,[5] but he did not play for them throughout the season, instead making his List A for Cricket Australia XI in the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup. He played in the first match against Queensland, and late in the innings he bowled fellow Queenslander Ben Cutting to take his first List A wicket.[6] He took six wickets across four matches in the tournament, the second-most of any player for Cricket Australia XI.[7]
No longer in the Cricket Australia XI squad, Doggett played his first matches for Queensland in the 2017–18 JLT One-Day Cup and took five wickets for the team while conceding 6.19 runs per over in four matches.[8] He then made his first-class debut in the opening round of the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season. In his first innings of first-class bowling he had impressive figures of 4/33 while Victoria were bowled out for 148.[9] In February 2018, in round eight of the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season, he took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.[10]
South Australia
In 2021 Doggett moved to Adelaide and began playing for South Australia.[11]
Doggett won the player of the match award in the 2024-25 Sheffield Shield Final, having taken 11 wickets in the match, including 6/31 in the first innings and 5/109 in the second.[12] His efforts led South Australia to their first Sheffield Shield title in 29 years. His match figures of 11/140 were the best ever figures in a Sheffield Shield final.[13]
County Cricket
In February, Doggett signed a short-term contract with Durham County Cricket Club to play for them in the first two months of the 2025 County Championship season.[14]
