Liam Scott

Liam Scott is an Australian right-handed batting all-rounder and right-arm fast-medium bowler who has rapidly risen through the domestic ranks with South Australia. He made his Sheffield Shield debut in 2019 and was part of Australia’s Under-19 squad for the 2020 World Cup. Scott enjoyed a major breakthrough during the 2024–25 season, earning the Player of the Tournament award in the One-Day Cup while playing an important role in South Australia’s domestic success. He took his game to another level in 2025–26, scoring 496 runs and claiming 23 wickets in the Sheffield Shield to win the Player of the Year award. His ability to contribute consistently with both bat and ball eventually earned him his maiden Australia ODI call-up in 2026.

Scott provides Australia with a useful seam-bowling option alongside his ability to strengthen the middle order. He has shown that he can build an innings patiently before shifting gears, while his medium-fast deliveries offer the captain flexibility across different stages of a match. His standout domestic performances, including a first-class century and multiple five-wicket hauls, underline his potential as a genuine all-round contributor. For fantasy cricket, Scott is an interesting option because he can earn points through batting, bowling and fielding. His selection becomes particularly attractive when he is expected to bowl a substantial spell and has a meaningful role in the batting order.
