Perth Scorchers spearhead Richardson’s league-best 29 wickets in the recent BBL season, coupled with Starc’s absence, could result in a bidding frenzy for the 24-year-old West Australian.
In February 2017 Richardson was named in Australia’s Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against Sri Lanka.
He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Australia against Sri Lanka at Kardinia Park, Geelong on 19 February 2017.
He made his ODI debut for Australia against England on 19 January 2018.
Later in the same month, he was named in Australia’s Test squad for their series against South Africa in March 2018, however, he did not play.
In April 2018, he was awarded a national contract by Cricket Australia for the 2018–19 season.

He made his One Day International debut against India in August 2014 and his Test cricket debut against South Africa in December 2015.
His attacking style has made him one of the best Twenty20 batsmen in the world. Hales is the first English batsman to score a T20I century
Jhye Richardson and Alex Hales are two standouts from the BBL. They deserve to not only get picked up in the IPL but a starting place.
