Tim David Biography
Singapore-born Australian cricketer Timothy Hays David is a power-hitting middle-order batter who has represented Singapore and Australia internationally.A
Early life and backgroundTimothy Hays David was born on 16 March 1996 in Singapore and was raised in Perth, Australia. His father, Roderick (Rod) David, played club cricket and worked as an engineer; the family returned to Australia when Tim was very young. He attended Scotch College in Melbourne and began playing club cricket at an early age, joining the Claremont-Nedlands Cricket Club youth teams and progressing through age-group ranks alongside peers such as Joel Paris and Matt Kelly.
Physical profile
David is listed with a height of 1.65 m (165 cm) and a playing weight around 75 kg. He bats right-handed and bowls right-arm off-break. His playing build and aggressive approach have made him particularly effective in the shorter formats of the game.
Career
David’s early senior domestic involvement included contracts with Western Australia’s under-23s and Western Australia XI, though he did not establish himself as a regular senior state player. His first substantial exposure came in franchise and T20 competitions.
He made a breakthrough for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League in 2018, contributing in a late-season chase. After sporadic opportunities with the Scorchers, David re-emerged in the BBL with Hobart Hurricanes in 2020–21, where a string of impactful cameos, including a 58 off 33 while batting at number six, earned him the Man of the Match and a season tally of 279 runs at a high strike rate.
Franchise cricket has formed the backbone of David’s professional profile. He has turned out for teams across the globe: Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League, Surrey (including the Royal London Cup), Lancashire Lightning in the Vitality Blast, Southern Brave in The Hundred, Saint Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, and Mumbai Indians, among others. He has been particularly notable for his six-hitting ability and rapid scoring—examples include an unbeaten 140 for Surrey and a tournament-leading tally of sixes for Multan Sultans in PSL 2022.
His 2022 IPL auction move to Mumbai Indians attracted attention when he was bought at INR 8.25 crore. That season and subsequent IPL campaigns saw him produce a number of match-defining cameos, and he set a record for the highest single-season strike rate in the IPL (minimum 150 runs) in 2022.
International career
David first represented Singapore in T20 internationals in mid-2019, debuting in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Asia Region Final and finishing that event as the leading run-scorer for the tournament. After changing his international affiliation, he made his T20 debut for Australia against India in September 2022 and his One-Day International debut for Australia in September 2023 against South Africa.
Public profile
David’s profile expanded rapidly through his global T20 performances. He has been a sought-after replacement and retention signing in multiple franchise leagues, highlighted by strong seasons in the Caribbean Premier League, England’s Vitality Blast, and domestic T20 competitions. He is sponsored by Bradbury Cricket and maintains a public presence on social media.
Personal life
David is married to Australian field hockey player Stephanie Kershaw. He is an avid traveller, enjoys golf, and is a dog owner; his pet dog is named Rhani. He was born under the Pisces sign and lists Perth as his hometown.
Latest updates
In recent seasons David has continued to be retained by Mumbai Indians in the IPL and remained involved in franchise cricket across England, Pakistan, the Caribbean, and Australia. He was part of Australia’s squad selections in 2022 for their series against India and included in the Australian squad for the 2022 World Cup. One of his notable recent performances came in April 2023 when he finished off a chase for Mumbai Indians with a 14-ball unbeaten 45, striking three consecutive sixes in the final over.
Across formats, David’s trajectory has been defined by his power-hitting, adaptability in T20 franchises worldwide, and his transition from Singapore representative to Australian international cricketer.
