JUNIOR CRICKET CLUB: Surfers Paradise Cricket Club
Xavier Bartlett is the ferocious fast bowler from the coast, debuting for the Brisbane Heat over the 2020/21 summer. Close mates with fellow Heat teammate, Matthew Kuhnemann, both bowlers grew up on the Gold Coast and attended The Southport School together, often car-pooling to Brisbane after school for training at the NCC in Albion. Originally a competitive swimmer, ‘Big X’ made the switch over to cricket and hasn’t looked back, playing a key role in both the Heat and Queensland Bulls squad. Outside of cricket, Bartlett loves travelling and spending some down time on the coast with his family.
