Nathan Ellis

Nathan Ellis is a highly adept Australian fast-medium bowler who has carved out a reputation as one of the world's most reliable death-bowling specialists. With an exceptionally accurate yorker and a deceptive array of slower-ball variations, he possesses a rare ability to restrict scoring during the high-pressure final overs of a T20 innings. His knack for picking up wickets while stifling the run rate has made him a coveted asset across global franchise leagues, including the IPL, where he has consistently delivered disciplined spells under extreme scrutiny. A cool-headed competitor, Ellis is known for his tactical awareness and his ability to execute complex bowling plans under the intense glare of international cricket.

In the 2026 season of The Hundred, Ellis joins the Sunrisers Leeds squad, bringing his vast experience and calm temperament to their bowling attack. As a marquee overseas signing, he acts as a vital pillar for his team, providing the stability and control required to navigate the fast-paced 100-ball format. His presence allows his captain more flexibility, knowing that a reliable performer is available to handle the most challenging moments of the match. As he continues to test and frustrate the world’s best batters, Ellis remains an essential part of the Sunrisers’ strategy to dominate the tournament and secure their path to the title.
