Oliver Peake

Oliver Peake is a promising left-handed batter and right-arm off-spinner who has earned a place in Australia’s ODI squad for the three-match series against Zimbabwe. Still only 19, Peake has already built an impressive pathway record, having been part of Australia’s victorious 2024 Under-19 World Cup campaign and later captaining the side at the 2026 U19 World Cup. He has also gained senior experience with Victoria, Melbourne Renegades and Australia A, including an unbeaten 55 on his List A debut for Australia A and a 92 against Sri Lanka A. His selection for the Zimbabwe matches represents another significant step in his rapidly developing career.

Peake offers Australia a useful combination of composed batting and occasional off-spin, giving him the flexibility to contribute in different phases of a game. His left-handed technique and ability to build an innings make him an interesting middle-order prospect, while his domestic experience has exposed him to senior-level cricket despite his age. He will be looking to translate that promise into a strong first impression in international ODI cricket against Zimbabwe. For fantasy cricket, Peake is a high-upside option, particularly because his batting opportunity comes alongside the possibility of contributing with his off-spin and fielding.
