Cameron Bancroft
A reliable opener who has been in excellent domestic form. Bancroft is consistent in laying imposing foundations at the top of the order.
Josh Philippe
This explosive wicketkeeper-batsman gets quick starts during the powerplay. His aggressive style may flip games in the course of a few overs.
Sam Whiteman
Technically sound and experienced, Whiteman acts as a stabilizer within the batting lineup capable of playing long innings.
Ashton Turner
Captain and middle-order aggressor, Turner is a good finisher and truly an astute tactician.
Teague Wyllie
One of WA’s brightest young batters, Wyllie offers solidity and soaking pressure at important stages.
Mitchell Marsh
The experienced all-rounder provides powerful batting for middle order and handy seam bowling, adding strength across departments through his international calibre.
Aaron Hardie
Hardie is a pretty new and upcoming talent providing balance with his favorable temperament in batting and hardworking medium-pace bowling. He is touted as a future leader of WA.
D’Arcy Short
A destructive batter and an able left-arm spinner, Short lends versatility with both bat and ball at the top of the order and in the middle overs.
Hilton Cartwright
Cartwright gives added middle-order depth and chips in with some useful seam bowling.
Jhye Richardson
WA’s pace spearhead brings raw pace and wicket-taking ability. When fit, he can win games almost single-handedly with the ball.
Jason Behrendorff
The experienced left-armer with near-lethal new ball bowling perhaps provides a variation to the fast bowling attack.
Andrew Tye
He is a death overs bowler who executes slower balls and yorkers to perfection. Tye is one of the most dangerous bowling threats in limited-overs cricket.
Matthew Kelly
Another excellent fast bowler in West Australia’s pretty rich pace attack, he is pretty reliable in his control and breaking partnerships.
Ashton Agar
The premier spin option of WA. Agar runs down the middle overs and also offers depth with the bat.
One of the contenders for the best balanced team in the competition must be the WA Marsh One-Day Cup Season 2025-26 squad. With international experience courtesy of Marsh, Agar, and Behrendorff mixing with the younger talents in Hardie and Wyllie and a serious pace attack, WA yet again enter the season as front runners for the trophy.
