Ben McDermott

Ahead of the 2019–20 Marsh One-Day Cup, McDermott was named as one of the six cricketers to watch during the tournament.

On 3 June 2018, he was selected to play for the Winnipeg Hawks in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament.

In October 2018, he was named in Australia's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for the series against Pakistan. He made his T20I debut for Australia in the one-off match against the United Arab Emirates on 22 October 2018. In November 2018, he was added to Australia's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against South Africa, but he did not play.

In March 2017, he scored his maiden first-class century, when he made 104 runs for Tasmania in round 10 of the 2016–17 Sheffield Shield season.

Born in Caboolture, Queensland, he is the son of Australian Test cricketer Craig McDermott and brother of Alister McDermott. The McDermott family moved to the Gold Coast when Ben was seven years of age and the two siblings began playing junior cricket for Runaway Bay and Broadbeach. Ben made his first XI debut for The Southport School in year 9 and made a remarkable double-hundred for the Gold Coast Dolphins at under-17 level. He also represented Australia in Youth One Day Internationals at Under-19 level and played alongside his brother in the 2014 Prime Minister's XI match against England.

He made his Twenty20 debut on 18 January 2014 for the Brisbane Heat against Adelaide Strikers, scoring 30 runs. On 12 January 2017 while playing for the Hobart Hurricanes against the Melbourne Renegades in the 2016–17 Big Bash League season, he made 114 off 52 balls, including 9 sixes and 8 fours. He earned a man of the match award as he helped the Hurricanes chase down 223 to defeat the Renegades in the highest scoring Big Bash game to date.
