In 2017, he was also included in Australia’s One Day International (ODI) squad. He has played one ODI for Australia.
Heazlett has scored 898 runs in 51 matches across all forms of T20 cricket. His highest score in the format is an unbeaten 74. In List A cricket, he has scored 1,618 runs in 41 matches, including three centuries and 14 half-centuries.
With Heazlett’s arrival, Kathmandu Gorkhas have added another batting option to their squad.
