Durham Bolsters Bowling Lineup with Australian Seamer Brendan Doggett for 2025 Season

Durham secures Australian bowler Brendan Doggett for the 2025 Championship season, strengthening their seam attack.

Durham County Cricket Club has made a significant addition to their squad by signing Australian seamer Brendan Doggett for the early part of the 2025 County Championship season. Doggett, a 30-year-old fast bowler from South Australia, will be available for Durham starting in April 2025, with his debut match scheduled against Warwickshire on 11 April.

Meet Brendan Doggett

Doggett has been a consistent performer in Australian domestic cricket, particularly in the Sheffield Shield, where he has taken 20 wickets in just five games this season. With a total of 155 wickets in 43 first-class matches, Doggett brings a wealth of experience to Durham's bowling attack. His career-best figures of 6-15, achieved against India A in October, showcase his ability to deliver under pressure.

Durham’s Strategy

Durham’s director of cricket, Marcus North, highlighted Doggett’s recent form and versatility:

"Brendan has been in outstanding form this season for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield and for Australia A. His pace and accuracy make him the perfect fit to strengthen our seam attack during the crucial early months of the County Championship."

Impact on Durham’s Campaign

Doggett’s inclusion is expected to bolster Durham’s chances in the County Championship, especially during the initial phase of the season when conditions often favor seam bowlers. His ability to swing the ball and generate pace on flat pitches makes him a valuable asset for the team.

Looking Ahead

Durham fans will be eager to see Doggett in action as the club aims to make a strong start to the 2025 season. His presence, alongside the existing seam attack, could prove decisive in Durham’s quest for Championship success.
