Joshua Ryan Philippe (born 1 June 1997) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a wicket-keeper batsman.[1] He made his international debut for the Australia cricket team in February 2021.[2] Born to a cricketing family, his father has played for Western Australia 2nd XI and coached Western Fury while his mother has represented Western Australia in the 1980s.[3]

Career

Philippe made his Twenty20 debut for Perth Scorchers against the Sydney Sixers in the 2017–18 Big Bash League season on 23 December 2017.[4] Prior to his T20 debut, he scored 88 runs from 92 balls opening the batting against England in a warm-up match representing a Western Australia XI, prior to the 2017–18 Ashes series.[5]

Philippe made his first-class debut for Western Australia in the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season in February 2018[6] and his List A debut for the side in the 2018–19 JLT One-Day Cup in September 2018.[7] He won the Player of the Match award when the Prime Minister's XI beat the touring South Africans on 31 October 2018; he was the match top-scorer with 57, and made four dismissals and conceded no byes in the South African innings.[8]

In July 2020, Philippe was named in a 26-man preliminary squad of players to begin training ahead of a possible tour to England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10] In August, Cricket Australia confirmed that the fixtures would be taking place, with Philippe included in the touring party,[11][12] although he did not play during the series.

After being bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore[13] in 2020 IPL auction, Philippe played for them in the 2020 Indian Premier League,[14] scoring 78 runs in five innings. He was retained for the 2021 season but withdrew from the tournament prior to its start for personal reasons.[15]

In January 2021, Philippe was named in Australia's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against New Zealand.[16] He made his T20I debut for Australia, against New Zealand, on 22 February 2021.[17] In June 2021, Philippe was named in Australia's limited overs squad for their tours of the West Indies and Bangladesh.[18][19] Philippe made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 20 July 2021, for Australia against the West Indies.[20]

In September 2021, in the opening match of the 2021–22 Marsh One-Day Cup, Philippe scored his first century in List A cricket, with 137 runs against South Australia.[21]
