Australia batter D’Arcy Short has joined Gloucestershire for the defending champions’ 2025 T20 Blast campaign.
The left-hander, who can also bowl spin, has played for his country in both white-ball formats and has twice been named ‘Player of the Tournament’ in Australia’s Big Bash.
He averages just over 30 with the bat for Australia in his 23 one-day international and T20 appearances for his country.
He has previously had spells in the Indian Premier League with Rajasthan Royals and the Trent Rockets in The Hundred, as well as having played for Durham and Hampshire in past Blast campaigns.
“What a player to be joining us at this exciting time,” Gloucestershire head coach Mark Alleyne told the club website., external
“He brings a batting versatility with him, being brilliantly effective from one to six and offering spin options in the power play and middle.
“D’Arcy compliments everything we are about and we can’t wait to get him on board.”
Short will be available for the entire Blast group stage.
