Zanden Jeh (born 28 June 2003) is an Australian cricketer. He is a left handed batsman and left arm off-spin bowler. He made his first-class cricket debut for Australia A on 13 July 2025 against Sri Lanka A.

Career

[edit]

From Brisbane, Jeh played in the state second XI competition during the 2024-25 season for Queensland with his efforts including a five-wicket haul and the dismissal of Glenn Maxwell. Jeh was called-up to the Australia A squad in June 2025, despite being yet to make a professional cricket debut, as Australia valued left arm orthodox spin for future tours of Asia.[1] He made his List A debut and first-class debut for Australia A against Sri Lanka A in July 2025.[2]

Following his appearances for Australia A, Jeh was automatically upgraded to a full contract with Queensland for the 2025-26 season.[3][4]

Personal life

[edit]

Of Sri Lankan descent, his father Michael Jeh was also a first-class cricketer from Sri Lanka who played in England before setting in Australia.[5][6][7] He has two younger siblings, Sierra and Saxon.[8]
