Recognised early in his career as a standout player, Pat became a Test fixture from 2017/2018 season. He has several cricketing accolades including being ranked as No 1. ICC Test Bowler for the last four years, winning the coveted Allan Border Medal as the 2018/2019 Men’s Cricketer of the Year and in the same year the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year.

Winning highlights include the 2015 Cricket World Cup and the 2021 inaugural ICC T20 World Cup.

In his position as Australian Captain and as an international player Pat appreciates that he has a responsibility to use his position for the good of others, and to be a good role model and a great leader.
