Mini bio
How it started.
Pat emerged as a 17-year-old leading wicket-taker in the 2010-11 state-based Big Bash competition. On Test debut against South Africa in November 2011, he took 6-79 in the second innings, hit the winning runs and earned player-of-the-match honours.
The long way back.
Injuries meant more than five years passed before his second Test. He went on to become Australia’s Test captain in 2021. In 2023, he led the team to the World Test Championship title, an Ashes retention and the Cricket World Cup.
Beyond the scorecard.
In 2021, Pat launched a YouTube channel to share his journey through the IPL. His Howzat Pat children’s adventure series, created with Dave Hartley and illustrator Serena Geddes, began in 2024. He is also a UNICEF Australia ambassador, appointed in 2021.
