Former Australian cricketer, Shane Watson has been appointed as one of the official Brand Ambassadors for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Shane Robert Watson was born on June 17, 1981, in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. He attended St Marys Primary School and Ipswich Grammar School. His cricket career began at an early age, representing Queensland Primary Schools in 1993 and later the state at under-17 and under-19 levels, culminating in playing for Australia in the 2000 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Watson then joined the AIS Australian Cricket Academy. In 2000, a rule change allowed him to become a free agent, leading him to join the Tasmanian state team, where he quickly made an impact, scoring 309 runs at an average of 51.50 and taking 11 wickets in half a season.
Watson was first selected for the Australian national team in early 2002 for a tour of South Africa. He made his One Day International (ODI) debut on this tour. In January 2005, he made his Test debut against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Throughout his career, Watson became known as an all-rounder. He was a key member of the Australian squads that won the Cricket World Cup in 2007 and 2015, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy in 2006 and 2009. He was named Player of the Match in the finals of both ICC Champions Trophy victories. He was ranked as the world’s No. 1 all-rounder in Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) for 150 weeks, including a record 120 consecutive weeks from October 2011 to January 2014.
His career also included extensive play in Twenty20 leagues globally, notably the Indian Premier League (IPL). He was named Player of the Tournament in the IPL twice, in 2008 and 2013, and won the tournament twice with his teams in 2008 and 2018. Watson retired from international cricket in 2016 and from all forms of cricket in 2020. Since then, he has engaged in coaching, commentary, and entrepreneurial ventures. He served as Head Coach for the San Francisco Unicorns and Quetta Gladiators. He launched a sports clinic called ‘Let’s Activate’ for children in 2017 and hosts a podcast, ‘Lessons Learnt with the Greats.’ In November 2019, he was elected President of the Australian Cricketers’ Association.
