An injury to John Hastings gave young Jackson Coleman an opportunity to join the Stars at the backend of BBL|06, and he went on to earn a full contract in BBL|07. The big left-arm quick is an intimidating threat to any opponent he comes across, with his tall frame and fast bowling causing problems to any calibre of batsmen.
After taking some time off cricket to focus on his football career, playing in the VFL for Sandringham Zebras and the Frankston Dolphins respectively, Coleman returned to cricket for the 2014-15 season and hasn’t looked back.
He’s always been a fantastic option for the Melbourne Stars coaching staff, being pulled in to play an important role on quick pitches and last season picked up three wickets in three matches at an average of 18.33.
Coleman represented Australia at the U19’s World Cup back in 2010 and recently represented Victoria at U23 level. Coleman made his debut for the Victorian state team in the Domestic One Day Cup against the Redbacks where he took the healthy figures of 3-52.
