About Mitchell Swepson

Any young leg-spinner hailing from Brisbane draws immediate comparison to Shane Warne. However, Mitchell Swepson has paved his own path to the top, by relying on flat trajectory flippers and 'skidders' with the occasional loopy delivery, and has already made the selectors sit up and take notice of his unique ability to make flat-trajectory deliveries turn significantly.

Swepson had a golden run in his first two Sheffield Shield seasons, taking 17 wickets in 6 matches in his 2015/16 season. He was particularly impressive for Australia A against South Africa A and India A, bagging 14 wickets in just 3 first-class matches at an average of 19.35 including a 4/33 against the South African side and a 4/78 against the Indian side; two formidable batting line-ups.
