    Cliff Notes – Australia Test spinner Todd Murphy signs with Gloucestershire

    • Todd Murphy, 24, will join Gloucestershire for a four-game County Championship stint in June and July, becoming the third Australian Test player to do so this season.
    • The offspinner prioritised the county offer over playing for Australia A against Sri Lanka A, with the blessing of Australia’s selectors.
    • Murphy aims to develop his skills in England, competing alongside established players while preparing for a future role as Australia’s leading spinner.

    Australia Test spinner Todd Murphy signs with Gloucestershire

    Offspinner Todd Murphy will become the third Australian Test player to play for Gloucestershire this season after signing a four-game County Championship stint through June and July.

    Murphy, 24, will play under Cameron Bancroft, following on from Cameron Green’s successful five-game stint before the T20 Blast break. Murphy was set to play for Australia A in a series of 50-over and four-day matches against Sri Lanka A in July but has prioritised taking a county offer to play for Gloucestershire with the blessing of Australia’s selectors.

    Murphy has not played in the County Championship before but has earned two of his seven Tests in England. He was set to play for Durham in 2023 ahead of the Ashes that year but was unable to fulfill the deal. He featured in the Headingley and Oval Tests in the Ashes series but has only played one Test since, as one of three spinners in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle earlier this year.

    Australia’s incumbent offspinner Nathan Lyon has vowed to play through until the 2027 Ashes but will be 39 when that series starts. Murphy is one of a handful of candidates alongside left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann and Western Australian offspinner Corey Rocchiccioli to succeed Lyon as Australia’s No.1 spinner long-term and a four-game stint in England will do his development no harm although the four matches he will play will be with the Kookaburra ball.

    “I am really pleased to have signed with Gloucestershire,” Murphy said. “I’ve always wanted to play county cricket in England, and I am thankful that Gloucestershire has given me this opportunity.”

    Gloucestershire coach Mark Alleyne was pleased to sign a Test spinner for a four-game stint.

    “I’m really excited for the arrival of Todd, who will be joining a group in fine Championship fettle,” he said. “He is a spin bowler with brilliant pedigree and experience on the international stage and will complement our bowling group really well over the next four Championship games.

    “These matches will be played with a Kookaburra ball which he is really familiar with, and the fans will enjoy his tenacious offering.”
