Mickey Edwards has signed on with the Sixers, becoming the youngest and tallest squad Member in a boost for the club’s bowling stocks.

Born and raised on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Mickey started his cricketing career as a batsman – with some success – before watching Brett Lee bowling flat out on the SCG against India during the New Year’s Test in 2008 saw him switch to fast bowling.

At 200cm tall, Mickey now dwarfs Binga, and stands above fellow quicks Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc to claim the new tag of tallest in the club.

He first caught selectors eyes with performance for his grade club Manly in the 2014 Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup, and earned selection in the Sixers Academy, where solid performances saw him earn a spot on the Sixers supplementary squad for BBL|04.

After famously steering the Illawarra Invitational XI to victory over the Sixers when bowling the final over in a Super Over, Mickey was invited to train with the Sixers last summer and has graduated to the “Big Boys” now aged only 20.

Outside of Cricket, Mickey is a passionate surfer, and prior to Professional Cricket was working as a carer and studying Exercise Physiology.

Capable of extracting extraordinary bounce, good pace and with an ever growing array of change-ups, Mickey from Manly is poised for a long and successful career at the club!
