Jason Behrendorff Biography

Jason Paul Behrendorff is an Australian left-arm fast-medium bowler who has played domestic cricket for Western Australia and Perth Scorchers and has worn

Early life and background

Jason Paul Behrendorff was born on 20 April 1990 in Camden, New South Wales, and grew up in Canberra. He studied sports science and graduated from Edith Cowan University. Raised in an Australian sporting environment, Behrendorff developed into a tall left-arm fast-medium bowler and a useful right-handed lower-order batter.

Career

Behrendorff made his List A debut for Western Australia against Tasmania at Bunbury on 19 February 2011 and appeared in his first-class debut for Western Australia in a Sheffield Shield match versus Victoria in Melbourne on 11 November 2011. He progressed through state pathways including Western Australia Under-23s, Australian Capital Territory Under-19s and club cricket with Tuggeranong Valley before establishing himself in the senior domestic ranks.

Across formats for his domestic sides he has compiled a solid bowling record. In first-class cricket he took 126 wickets in 31 matches at an average around the mid-20s and contributed lower-order runs. In List A cricket he took 44 wickets in 35 matches, while in T20s he picked up 57 wickets in 40 matches and also averaged 34 with the bat in the shortest format.

A notable milestone in his red-ball career came in February 2017 when he claimed nine wickets in an innings against Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, one of the competition’s better individual bowling performances. His performances in domestic cricket were recognised when he was named Domestic Player of the Year in 2015, a development that helped lead to international selection.

International debut and highlights

Behrendorff won selection for Australia and made his international T20 debut against India on 7 October 2017 in Ranchi. Shortly after debuting he produced an eye-catching T20 performance on 10 October 2017 in Guwahati, taking four wickets for 21 runs in a match against India—an effort recorded among notable T20 figures.

He has also represented the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League where he enjoyed success, including taking 15 wickets in the 2014–15 BBL season. In franchise cricket, he was purchased by Mumbai Indians for the 2018 Indian Premier League.

Playing style and recognition

Behrendorff bowls left-arm fast-medium and bats right-handed. He is noted for his height—listed at about 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in)—and for generating bounce and movement, traits that have helped him take wickets across formats. Early in his career he registered several strong performances against high-profile opposition, including dismissing established international batsmen in T20 competition.

Public profile

Behrendorff’s coach and mentor has been former Australian seamer Craig McDermott. He has been recognised with awards such as Future Legend (2012) and domestic honours like the 2015 Domestic Player of the Year and has earned Man of the Match awards at international level.

Personal life

Jason is married to Juvelle Hatt; the pair married in April 2014 in Perth, Western Australia. His family includes a brother, Luke, who has played European handball. Jason’s listed physical attributes include light blue eyes, dark brown hair and a playing weight around 75 kg. Off the field he has been associated with a Subaru WRX.

Latest updates

Following his domestic success, Behrendorff’s international window opened in 2017 with T20 appearances for Australia. He continued to be active in domestic competitions for Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers and expanded into franchise cricket, including being signed for the 2018 IPL season.
