He is often confused with a different Australian cricketer of the same name, Tom Rogers of Tasmania and Melbourne Renegades, who is a genuine strike bowler. This Tom Rogers, full name Thomas Fraser Rogers, is the opposite type of player: a specialist batter who almost never bowls.
How Did Tom Rogers’ Career Start?
Rogers grew up in Melton, on the western edge of Melbourne, and worked his way through Victoria’s club and age group system before getting an unusual first break in professional cricket. In January 2022, ten members of the Melbourne Stars BBL squad were ruled out after contracting COVID 19, and Rogers was one of six replacement players called up at short notice. He scored 32 on debut, a promising start in difficult circumstances, though he was himself sidelined the very next day after also testing positive to COVID 19.
That chaotic start turned into a long term opportunity. He kept his place in the Melbourne Stars squad in the seasons that followed and became a regular member of the side. His first class and List A debuts for Victoria came later, in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, with his List A debut arriving in February 2023 against South Australia. His first class debut followed in October 2024 against Tasmania.
Why Hasn’t Tom Rogers Played International Cricket for Australia?
Based on everything publicly available, Tom Rogers has never been named in an Australia A squad or an Australian underage World Cup squad, unlike many of his BBL and Sheffield Shield peers. This is a fair, direct answer to a question fans often ask when they see a player putting up eye catching numbers in the BBL or Marsh Cup.
The most likely explanation is simply competition and format. His List A average of 37.14 and his one standout innings are genuinely impressive, but his overall body of work, only 9 first class matches and a T20 average in the high teens, is still relatively thin compared to the batters who typically get an Australia A look in. He is also 27, an age where a player without prior representative honours faces a steeper climb into the national conversation than a teenager on the same numbers would.
None of that rules out a future call up if his List A and first class form keeps trending upward, but as things stand, he remains firmly a domestic and franchise T20 specialist rather than a representative prospect.
What Is Tom Rogers’ Signature Career Moment?
If you ask Victorian cricket fans about Tom Rogers, most will bring up the same innings: his 196 off 142 balls against New South Wales in the Marsh One Day Cup on 14 February 2024 at North Sydney Oval.
Opening the batting, Rogers smashed 15 fours and 15 sixes in an innings that fell just four runs short of a double century, before he was eventually caught off Ben Dwarshuis. According to Cricket Victoria’s own profile of him, that knock remains the sixth highest individual score in Australian one day domestic history. Victoria still lost the match, with New South Wales chasing the total down through Daniel Hughes’ century, but Rogers’ innings earned him a place in Cricket Australia’s Team of the Tournament for that Marsh Cup season.
That single innings explains a lot about his statistical profile. It is the main reason his List A average of 37.14 sits well above his first class and T20 numbers, and it remains the clearest evidence that he can produce a truly special day with the bat when everything clicks.
What Is Tom Rogers Doing in 2026?
Rogers has started expanding beyond Australian domestic cricket. In 2026 he signed with Galle Gallants in the Lanka Premier League, his first overseas T20 franchise deal, adding international league experience to his BBL and Sheffield Shield commitments. He also continued to develop his red ball game through the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons, picking up a string of first class half centuries for Victoria as he works to turn his List A form into a longer, more established Sheffield Shield career.
How Tall Is Tom Rogers? Height and Weight
Tom Rogers’ exact height and weight are not published on ESPNcricinfo, Cricket Australia, or Cricket Victoria’s official pages. Some fan run cricket statistics sites list him at around 5 feet 9 inches, but this figure has not been confirmed by any official source.
