Todd Murphy Joins Gloucestershire For Four-game County Championship Stint
Aussie Cameron Bancroft: Australian offspinner Todd Murphy is set to broaden his cricketing experience with a four-match County Championship stint for Gloucestershire during June and July, becoming the third Australian Test player to represent the club this season.
Murphy, 24, will follow in the footsteps of Cameron Green and will play under the captaincy of fellow Aussie Cameron Bancroft. With Green impressing in his five-match spell earlier in the season, Murphy’s addition bolsters a Gloucestershire side that is beginning to benefit from Australian firepower across formats.
Although Murphy was initially in line to feature for Australia A in a July series against Sri Lanka A, he has opted to prioritise county cricket with the approval of national selectors. The stint will mark his debut appearance in the County Championship, though he is no stranger to English conditions, having played two of his seven Test matches during the 2023 Ashes, at Headingley and The Oval.
