Joshua Patrick Inglis, commonly known as Josh Inglis, is one of the most promising Australian cricketers of recent times. The wicket-keeper-batsman is already being labelled as the 'Next Adam Gilchrist' and showing signs of meeting the expectations. The 29-year-old batter has already played in all three major game formats. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, legendary cricketer, Adam Gilchrist lauded Josh Inglis for his aggressive style of play. Gilchrist also admitted that it could benefit the Australian team in the long run.
What's even more important is that the English-born Australian player, Josh Inglis, has been consistent in his career for a long time. Courtesy of this, he was included in Australia's tour of Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series. It was a huge moment for Josh as he became the 470th Australian to feature in Tests for Australia. The ace wicket-keeper-batter received the iconic 'Baggy Green' cap from the Aussie great, Geoff Marsh.
During the first Test between Australia and Sri Lanka, when Josh Inglis received his Test cap from Geoff Marsh, his teammate, Usman Khawaja joked about the cricketer's English roots. The Pakistani-born Australian cricketer, Usman shared that he joked about Josh's English roots and didn't spare his father. Usman asked Josh's father whether he was crying because his son didn't play for England, leaving everyone in splits. Sharing the light-hearted moment, Usman shared:
"There have been a lot of jokes, probably from me because I'm Pakistani. I like to joke about his (Josh Inglis) heritage. I made a joke again when his dad was tearing up, 'Is that because he's not playing for England?' He's (Josh Inglis) a terrific player. I look forward to seeing him bat out there because I think these conditions will very much suit him."
Josh Inglis was born on March 4, 1995, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. At the age of 14, Josh left England and moved to Australia with his family due to personal reasons. The cricketer made his first-class debut for Cricket Australia XI in December 2015 against West Indies. Josh's List A debut for Cricket Australia XI came against Pakistan in January 2017. Talking about his T20I debut, the wicket-keeper-batsman marked it against Sri Lanka in January 2022.
In Australia's third ODI match against Pakistan, Josh Inglis also filled in for Pat Cummins as the captain of their team. During the auction of the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Punjab Kings spent a huge sum of Rs. 2.6 crore to sign the Australian cricketer, Josh Inglis. The fans are super-excited to see 'Next Adam Gilchrist' in the IPL 2025.
