Ben McDermott is the son of Australian fast bowling great Craig McDermott and younger brother of Alister McDermott. Unlike those two who were bowlers, Ben decided to take a different path. He took that call at a very young age. Ben McDermott is a top-order right-handed batsman and a part-time wicketkeeper.
He gained a rookie contract with Queensland Bulls in 2013 and was part of the Brisbane Heat in 2013-14 BBL and made his debut against Adelaide Strikers. The then 19-year-old batsman had a good outing scoring 30, but that was the only match he took part in the season. Immediately after the T20 tournament, McDermott was picked as the wicketkeeper for the under-19 World Cup that was held in UAE. He was an integral member of the junior Australian team which finished fourth in the competition.
Ben found domestic cricket tough in his initial days with Queensland Bulls and in 2014 he inked a rookie deal with Tasmanian. He tasted success straightaway by scoring 65 on debut against Victoria at the MCG in a Sheffield Shield clash.
McDermott grabbed the headlines in the sixth edition of the Big Bash League against his former team Melbourne Renegades. Coming in at No. 3 for Hobart Hurricanes, Ben smashed a swashbuckling century, belting 8 fours and 9 sixes against a line-up that had the likes of Sunil Narine, James Pattinson and Brad Hogg.
Two months after scoring that belligerent ton, McDermott notched up his maiden first-class century against South Australia. Having shown his prowess in the T20s, the talented youngster will be keen to prove his mettle in the longest format.
