Early life
Born in Geelong in Victoria, Peake attended St Joseph’s College[1] and later Geelong Grammar School on a sporting scholarship.[2] His father is former Victorian cricketer Clinton Peake.[3]
Domestic career

In November 2024, he was selected to play second XI cricket for Victoria.[6] On 18 January 2025, he made his Big Bash League debut for Melbourne Renegades against Brisbane Heat.[7][8] Peake also made his first-class debut in that same season, playing Victoria's final Sheffield Shield match of the 2024-25 season, against Western Australia at the WACA Ground.[9][10] Peake top scored for Victoria in the first innings, with a contribution of 52.[11] He was awarded a rookie state contract in May 2025.[12] The following month, he signed his first full BBL contract with the Melbourne Renegades.[13]

International career
Peake was a member of the Australia national under-19 cricket team that won the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa. Initially named as a non-travelling reserve for the World Cup, he was promoted into the squad when Corey Wasley broke a finger in the opening match. Peake became the youngest member of the winning team and contributed 49 runs against Pakistan in the semi final before playing in the final in which he scored 46 not out against India.[15]
Peake, as an 18-year old who was yet to make his first-class debut, was invited to join Australia's 2025 test tour of Sri Lanka in February to gain experience around the team and in subcontinent conditions.[16] Later that year in July, he was a part of the Australia A squad to play 3 List A and 2 First Class matches against Sri Lanka A in Darwin.[17] He scored an unbeaten 55 from 38 balls in his first outing for the team, the first List A match of the series.[18]
