Ben Robert Dunk (born 11 March 1987 in Innisfail, Queensland) is an Australian professional cricket player. After playing for the Queensland Bulls, he is now contracted to the Tasmanian Tigers in Australian interstate cricket as a left-handed batsman. He can also play as a wicket-keeper.[1]
Early career
Born in the northern Queensland town of Innisfail, Dunk moved to Brisbane early in his career to broaden his cricketing opportunities. He participated in a specialist cricket program at Mitchelton State High School before winning a Rugby and Cricket scholarship to Brisbane Boy's Grammar School. He played for the Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club in Queensland's grade cricket competition and represented Queensland in youth representative teams.[1][2] He was also in the Australian squad for the 2005 World Youth Cup.[3]
Queensland career
Dunk made his debut for Queensland in December 2009, having been selected in the Twenty20 team. Over six matches in the 2009-10 season, Dunk scored 142 runs off 99 balls, including an innings of 70 not out off 40 balls.[1][4] He was called up into the Queensland Sheffield Shield team for the first time in October 2010, playing as a specialist batsman (Chris Hartley retained selection as Queensland's wicket-keeper).[5]
