Domestic Career

Riley Meredith has played for Tasmania in all three forms of cricket. He made his List-A debut for Cricket Australia XI against Pakistanis at Brisbane on January 10, 2017. Meredith opened the bowling for CA XI in that contest with Henry Thornton. Unfortunately, Meredith could not scalp a single wicket. At the same time, he conceded 62 runs in nine overs.

Speaking about his numbers in the longest format of the game, Meredith received his maiden first-class cap for Tasmania against Victoria at Melbourne on November 13, 2017. The match ended in a draw but Meredith opened his account in first-class cricket by taking the wicket of all-rounder Daniel Christian. As of April 2021, Riley has taken 53 wickets in 18 first-class matches.

In his domestic T20 career, Meredith has scalped 47 wickets in 37 matches. He made his debut for the Hobart Hurricanes against the Perth Scorchers at Perth on February 1, 2018. It was the first semi final of BBL 2017/18, and Meredith dismissed opposition captain Adam Voges to help Hobart win.

International Career

IPL Career
