Alex Osborne, hailing from Perth, Western Australia, is an established bowling all-rounder. A right-handed batsman, he excels as a dominant leg-spinner with an impressive array of variations.

In the 2019/20 season, at just 17 years old, Alex made his debut in 1st Grade for Mount Lawley District Cricket Club. Since then, he has made a significant impact on the cricket scene in both the UK and Australia.

During the summer of 2022 in the UK, Alex played for Wivenhoe Town CC in the Two Counties Championship. His exceptional performance included 831 runs with an average of 51.94 and 37 wickets at an average of 28.35, marking a highly successful debut season.

In 2023, he continued his cricket journey by joining Hastings & St Leonards Priory CC in the Sussex League. Alex also actively participated in midweek and Sunday matches with various teams. His overall stats for the season were impressive, with 1583 runs and 100 wickets. Notably, his contribution of 318 runs with an average of 32 and 31 wickets with an average of 22 played a pivotal role in securing a league title and promotion to the ECB Sussex Premier League. Towards the end of 2023, Alex was invited to train with Sussex CC at Hove.

Now, with Scarborough Cricket Club, Alex has made a strong start to the 2023/24 Australian summer, taking 5/40 in the prestigious 1st grade WACA premier competition during round 2. He plans to continue his season in Perth and aims to return to the South of England next summer, seeking to join a competitive club.
