Jake Richard Doran (born 2 December 1996)[1] is an Australian cricketer who plays for Tasmania and Hobart Hurricanes. He previously played for New South Wales. He is the youngest player to be signed to a Big Bash League contract.[2] Doran is the younger brother of cricketer Luke Doran and attended The Hills Sports High School.[3]

Domestic career

In 2013, Doran almost became the youngest player to score a First Grade century; playing for Fairfield-Liverpool against Sydney University, he was on 87* when his team declared.[4] Aged 16, Doran became the youngest player ever to play for New South Wales second XI.[5][6] For the 2014/15 season, New South Wales signed Doran on a rookie contract,[7] and in October 2014, Doran signed for Big Bash team Sydney Thunder, making him the youngest player to sign a Big Bash contract.[5][8] Doran signed a one-year contract with the Thunder, a week before finishing his HSC exams.[5] Three other teams, including the Melbourne Stars were believed to have been interested in signing Doran; the Stars would have offered him a senior deal.[6] In January 2015, Doran made his BBL debut for Thunder in a Sydney Derby match against Sydney Sixers; Doran did not bat in the match.[9]

In March 2015, Doran signed for Tasmania from New South Wales on a two-year contract.[10][11] He made his first-class debut in a Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia, making scores of 5 and 17.[12] In his first five Sheffield Shield matches, he averaged 19.70, with 2 half-centuries.[13] In September 2015, Doran was added to the Tasmania squad for the Matador Cup, and he made his List A debut a month later against Queensland, but did not bat in the match.[14][15]

In November 2017, he scored his maiden first-class century, batting for Tasmania against South Australia in the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season.[16] In March 2018, Cricket Australia named Doran in their Sheffield Shield team of the year.[17]

International career

In November 2013, Doran played for Cricket Australia Chairman's XI against an England XI; the match was a tour match prior to the 2013-14 Ashes series, and Doran scored 17 in his only innings.[18] He has also played for Prime Minister's XI against English and Indian teams.[19] He has represented Australia under-19s, and averaged 83 at the 2014 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[13] Doran captained the under-19 team in series against England under-19 in 2014/15 and 2015, and scored 103 in the 2015 U-19 Test match between the teams at Chester-le-Street.[19] Former Australian cricketer Stuart MacGill suggested that Doran should have been picked for the fifth and final Test of the 2015 Ashes series.[19]
