Born on October 3, 1982, Australian cricketer Ben Laughlin celebrates his birthday today. The right-arm fast-medium bowler built a career around limited-overs cricket.
Laughlin’s impressive domestic performances earned him an Australia call-up in 2009. He made his ODI and T20I debuts against South Africa during that year.
Playing for Queensland, Laughlin announced himself with a remarkable 6/23 against New South Wales, one of the standout performances of his early career.
Laughlin became a key T20 bowler, including a 14-wicket Big Bash season. He represented teams including Hobart Hurricanes, Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat.
From Australia to the IPL and global T20 leagues, Laughlin enjoyed a long franchise career. He also represented Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Windies Cricket
