Marcus Harris was only 18 when he scored 157 for Western Australia in the 2010-11 Sheffield Shield season, making him the youngest Australian ever to record a first-class 150.

The opening batter continued to play 41 more games for his state, including a Player of the Match award in the final of the 2014-15 season, before moving to Victoria in 2016.

Gritty Harris considerably improved over the next two years, earning a Test call-up for the 2018-19 series against India – going on to post two fifties in four matches.

His love affair with the Shield resumed soon after, with his incredible 141 in the ’18-19 final proving the difference and earning himself another gong in the competition’s deciding match.

Harris returned to the Test side for the final three matches of the iconic 2019 Ashes series in England and despite barely playing in between, also featured in the first four Tests of the successful home Ashes 18 months later.

Always looking to improve, Harris made a stint in county cricket a regular thing and between 2021 and 2023 punched out a combined eight centuries for Leicestershire and Gloucestershire.
