A right-arm quick from Queensland, Nathan Rimmington is a professional cricketer who plays domestic cricket for Durham. Widely known as a gun bowler who often possesses a seriously shaggy beard, Rimmington also happens to be a great bloke off the field - exactly what you want as a supporter and a team.
Rimmington made his first-class debut against Tasmania in March 2006 when Michael Kasprowicz was re-launched into the Test squad. He became the first player to take a hat-trick in both, the 50-over as well as the 20-over format in 2007.
The 2007-08 summer was a write-off due to a serious hip problem, the bone was shaved during surgery and he was forced into a long rehabilitation. He bounced back with a Man-of-the-Match performance of 4 for 40 in the Ford Ranger Cup Final of 2008-09 ensured an eighth one-day title for Queensland. In 2011, he was signed for the fourth IPL season by the Kings XI Punjab.
The right-arm bowler who joined Durham back in 2017, has been a regular member of Durham’s T20 squad, claiming 16 wickets during the 2017-18 Blast competition with a best of 3/15 against Notts Outlaws.
While he has been impressive with the ball for Durham in white-ball cricket, the Australian has proven experience in T20 cricket across the globe, having played for the Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League (BBL) along with featuring for the Karnataka Tuskers in the Abu Dhabi T10 Super League.
Ahead of the 2020 season, Rimmington who has a wealth of experience in white-ball cricket was selected to lead out Durham’s Vitality Blast squad.
