Ben Manenti

Ben Manenti is a right-handed all-rounder who bowls off-spin and has become an important part of Italy's international setup. His bowling is based on accuracy and subtle changes of pace, while his batting gives the side useful depth and the ability to add runs through the lower middle order.

Australian-born Manenti has significant domestic experience in Australia and represents Italy through family heritage. He was part of Italy's historic 2026 T20 World Cup squad, where his all-round experience was valuable against stronger international opposition.

In T20 cricket, Manenti's off-spin can be used as a matchup weapon against left-handed batters or as a controlling option through the middle overs. His ability to contribute with the bat and field energetically makes him a well-rounded selection rather than a specialist spinner.
