Harry Nielsen

Harry Nielsen took his first-class opportunity with both hands at the beginning of 2018, scoring a gutsy century in his debut innings against the Victorian Bushrangers at Adelaide Oval.

Presented cap 632 by his father and former South Australian wicketkeeper Tim earlier that day, Nielsen was selected in place of regular ‘keeper Alex Carey who was fulfilling Australian limited-overs duties after years of development in the squad.

Having kept wicket for South Africa in a tour match against Cricket Australia’s XI and taking four catches on the way to dismissing his opponent for 103 in 2016, Nielsen has displayed promise and talent akin to his father Tim.
