**Brendan James Doggett** (born 3 May 1994) is an Australian international [cricketer](/source/Cricket). He plays in the [test](/source/Test_cricket) side of the [Australia national team](/source/Australia_national_cricket_team) as a right-arm [fast-medium bowler](/source/Fast_bowling).[1] Doggett is of [Worimi](/source/Worimi) heritage and is the fifth [First Nations](/source/Aboriginal_Australians) person to represent Australia in test cricket.[2] He represents [South Australia](/source/South_Australia_cricket_team) in domestic cricket and [Adelaide Strikers](/source/Adelaide_Strikers) in the [Big Bash League](/source/Big_Bash_League).[3][4]

## Domestic career

### Queensland

At the beginning of the 2016–17 season, Doggett earned a rookie contract with the [Queensland Bulls](/source/Queensland_cricket_team), becoming just the second [Indigenous Australian](/source/Indigenous_Australians) to have a contract with the team,[5] but he did not play for them throughout the season, instead making his [List A](/source/List_A_cricket) for [Cricket Australia XI](/source/Cricket_Australia_XI) in the [2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_Matador_BBQs_One-Day_Cup). He played in the first match against Queensland, and late in the innings he bowled fellow Queenslander [Ben Cutting](/source/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](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_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](/source/First-class_cricket) debut in the opening round of the [2017–18 Sheffield Shield season](/source/2017%E2%80%9318_Sheffield_Shield_season). In his first innings of first-class bowling he had impressive figures of 4/33 while [Victoria](/source/Victoria_cricket_team) 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](/source/South_Australia_cricket_team).[11]

Doggett won the player of the match award in the [2024-25 Sheffield Shield](/source/2024-25_Sheffield_Shield_season) 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](/source/Sheffield_Shield) final.[13]

### County Cricket

In February, Doggett signed a short-term contract with [Durham County Cricket Club](/source/Durham_County_Cricket_Club) to play for them in the first two months of the [2025 County Championship](/source/2025_County_Championship) season.[14]

## International career

In September 2018, he was named in Australia's [Test](/source/Test_cricket) squad for their series [against Pakistan](/source/Australian_cricket_team_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates_in_2018%E2%80%9319), but he did not play.[15][16] He was selected for [Australia A](/source/Australia_A_cricket_team) as an injury replacement for the [India A tour of Australia](/source/Indian_cricket_team_in_Australia_in_2024%E2%80%9325) in 2024–25. In the first unofficial Test, he took his third [five-wicket haul](/source/Five-wicket_haul) with figures of 6/15.[17] In November 2024, he was added to the Australian Test squad ahead of the second Test of the [Indian tour of Australia](/source/Indian_cricket_team_in_Australia_in_2024%E2%80%9325) as an injury replacement for [Josh Hazlewood](/source/Josh_Hazlewood),[18] but did not play.

Doggett made his Test debut in the first Test of the [2025–26 Ashes series](/source/2025%E2%80%9326_Ashes_series), in Perth, on 21 November, 2025. He became the fifth Indigenous player to play for the Australian men's Test team. With he and [Scott Boland](/source/Scott_Boland) playing, it was also the first time two Indigenous players had played in an Australian men's Test team together.[19] Doggett took 7 wickets across 2 matches (Perth and Brisbane) in the series at an average of 30.71.
