Kyle Brazell (born 20 September 2001) is an Australian cricketer.[1] He made his first-class cricket debut for South Australia against Queensland on 16 February 2024 in the 2023–24 Sheffield Shield season.[2][3] Brazell is the captain of Tea Tree Gully District Cricket Club in South Australian Premier Cricket.[4]
Career
As a teenager, Brazell attended Rostrevor College and played both cricket and Australian rules football.[5][6] In 2017, his successes in junior cricket shifted his focus away from football.[7] He played for the South Australia in the under-15 national cricket championships, then later in the year played for a Cricket Australia XI at the under-17 national championships, where he was the top run-scorer for the tournament and named player of the tournament. This performance earned him a spot in the Australia under-17s squad that played at the under-19 national championships in December 2017. He also made his senior Grade debut in October 2017 for Tea Tree Gully.[5][8] His school team at Rostrevor toured Sri Lanka in June 2018, and for the 2018/19 season, Brazell transferred from Tea Tree Gully to Adelaide University to bat further up the batting order. He was again selected to play for Cricket Australia in the under-19 national championships in 2018.[7]
In 2020, Brazell played for the North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League. He nominated for the 2020 AFL draft but was not selected. He subsequently earned a rookie contract with the South Australia cricket team for the 2021/22 season.[6][9] In the 2021/22 season, Brazell finished second in Adelaide University's club champion award to Will Bosisto, then transferred back to Tea Tree Gully for the 2022/23 season.[10]
Brazell didn't play a match for South Australia in the 2022/23 season, but retained his rookie contract for the 2023/24 season.[11] After scoring a century for Tea Tree Gully in SACA Premier Cricket, Brazell made his first-class debut in a Sheffield Shield match against Queensland beginning on 16 February 2024, being handed his Baggy Red by former South Australian player Callum Ferguson.[12] He opened the batting for South Australia, registering a duck in the first innings and 25 runs in the second.[2][13] Brazell played two more first-class matches in the 2023/24 season, but wasn't able to break into the team in the 2024/25 season when South Australia won the Sheffield Shield. He was dropped from South Australia's list at the end of the season.[6][14]
Personal life
As of 2025, Brazell was studying a Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science degree.[15]
