Nathan Ellis

Nathan Ellis is a right-arm fast-medium bowler who brings accuracy, variations and strong death-bowling skills to Australia’s ODI squad for the series against Zimbabwe. The Tasmania and Hobart Hurricanes quick made his ODI debut against Pakistan in 2022 and has developed into a dependable white-ball bowler for Australia. He is part of the 17-member ODI squad for the Zimbabwe tour, with the three matches scheduled in Harare on September 15, 18 and 20.

Ellis is particularly effective when he can mix his pace and lengths, using cutters and slower deliveries to disrupt batters as the innings progresses. His ability to bowl at the death gives Australia an important wicket-taking and run-controlling option, while his experience in T20 cricket has sharpened his skills in pressure situations. With Australia looking to assess their ODI combinations ahead of the 2027 World Cup, Ellis has an opportunity to strengthen his position in the bowling group. For fantasy cricket, his wicket-taking ability makes him an appealing bowling pick, especially if he gets the chance to operate during the closing overs.
