Ben Dwarshuis is an exciting Australian cricketer known for his sharp left-arm fast-medium bowling and hard-hitting lower-order batting. He is in the plans of Cricket Australia for upcoming T20I World Cup 2026. Dwarshuis made his debut around two years ago but could not get enough chances due to the presence of Australia’s most lethal trio comprising Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. However, Cricket Australia is now looking at the future and Dwarshuis could become the main man in Australia’s bowling attack.
