Beardman Records Fourth-Best ODI Debut Figures
Australia’s 21-year-old fast bowler Mahli Beardman took 6 wickets for 24 runs on his ODI debut against England in Perth, helping bowl the visitors out for 131 in the series opener. His figures are the best by an Australian on ODI debut and the fourth-best by any debutant; among his victims were England captain Harry Brook, Joe Root and Jofra Archer. Beardman was selected for the home-ground debut after returning from a back stress injury, with Australia resting several frontline fast bowlers.
