English-born Inglis reflects on the poetry and enormity of his maiden ODI ton

Josh Inglis spent nearly 15 years growing up in Leeds, England. But the 29-year-old just played a pivotal role in helping Australia beat their fierce cricketing rival.

With his parents and brother Joe, the Inglis family emigrated to Western Australia in 2010 not long before his 15th birthday, having represented Yorkshire's junior cricket sides.

Inglis’ rise to international acclaim was a slow burn, making his national team debut in 2022 as a 26-year-old, getting a taste in both white ball formats that year.

And of course it was only very recently, in Sri Lanka earlier in 2025, where he not only made his Test debut but scored a ton in his maiden innings – compiling a handy 102 from just 94 balls in Galle.
