Alex Carey is an Australian international Cricketer, who starred in the recent Australian summer of cricket, as well as in Australia’s recent tour of India.

​

Hailing from Loxton in the Riverland region of South Australia, Alex was originally a talented Australian Rules footballer who captained the Greater Western Sydney Giants in their pre-AFL days.

​

Upon returning home to Adelaide, Alex made a return to cricket by playing for Glenelg Cricket Club and quickly earned a call-up for South Australia at a domestic level.

​

A specialist batsman who later converted himself into a wicketkeeper, he made his ODI debut for Australia in 2018 having starred for the Redbacks and Adelaide Strikers over the summer.

​

In 2021, Alex captained the Australia ODI team and made his Test debut in the first test of the 2021/22 Ashes Series.

​

In December 2022, Alex scored his maiden Test century during Australia’s Boxing Day Test against South Africa, becoming only the second wicketkeeper to score a century at the MCG, and the first Australian wicketkeeper to score a Test century in nearly a decade.

Alex also played overseas in England for Sussex (2019) and in India for the Delhi Capitals (2020).
