Player Story

English-born but proud to call Australia home, Sam Whiteman made his debut for Western Australia in 2012 and quickly became a regular member of the Warriors side.

Regarded as one of the best wicketkeepers in the country, the left-hander had drawn comparisons to Adam Gilchrist after a golden 2013-14 that included Big Bash League success with Perth Scorchers and a stellar Sheffield Shield campaign that saw him named in the Team of the Tournament (687 runs at 45.8).

His maiden fast-class hundred came as part of a record 371-run stand with state teammate Mitchell Marsh for Australia A against India A in 2014, with Whiteman finishing on 174. 

The talented strokemaker was stilled around the Australia A set up in 2016, playing four matches, but injury and form hampered his progress at state level.

A serious finger injury while keeping for the Perth Scorchers forced Whiteman to reconsider his role, and his move to give up the gloves and begin opening the batting proved a masterstroke.

Whiteman was an integral part of Western Australia's Shield threepeat between 2021-22 and 2023-24, scoring centuries in two of the deciders.

He was also installed as WA captain following Shaun Marsh's retirement, captaining his state to Shield titles in 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Whiteman is a three-time winner of the Big Bash League, winning with the Scorchers in BBL|03. BBL|04 and BBL|06.
