Andrew James Tye (born 12 December 1986) is an Australian cricketer, currently contracted to Western Australia, Gujarat Lions and the Perth Scorchers domestically.

Early career

From the northern suburbs of Perth, Tye played second XI cricket in England for Somerset, Durham and Northamptonshire before making his list A debut in the 2013–14 Ryobi One-Day Cup aged 26.[1] He performed extremely well, taking the second most wickets in the tournament and returning the best single innings bowling figures of 5 wickets for 46 runs against Tasmania.[2][3]

Following his impressive performances in the One Day tournament, he signed with the Sydney Thunder for the 2013–14 Big Bash League season.[4] For the 2014–15 Big Bash League season however, he switched to play for the Perth Scorchers.[5]

He was seen as a breakout player in BBL04, with Australian T20 captain Aaron Finch labelling him as the 'find of the tournament'. He enjoyed success with the team, and was a focal contributor to Perth's second successive Big Bash League title. He was bought by the Chennai Super Kings for IPL 2015.

At grade cricket level, Tye plays for Scarborough.[1]

Upon returning to Australia AJ started his professional career at age 26, making his debut for Western Australia in the one day domestic competition, finishing as the second leading wicket taker with 13 at 19.30. Given an opportunity by the Sydney Thunder to play in the BBL, AJ starred in the shorter format, switching to the Perth Scorchers the following season. His ability to bowl Yorkers at the death and the dreaded ‘knuckle ball’ saw him earn contracts in the IPL with the Chennai Super Kings and most recently the Gujarat Lions. AJ’s rise continued in early 2016 making his debut for Australia in the T20 format as well as being selected for the T20 World Cup Team. AJ will swap the Australian winter for the English summer, playing with Gloucestershire and will continue to push his good form and cement his place in further Australian teams.

Outside of Cricket

AJ lives in Perth, somewhat of a cricket tragic he is never far from the game and his friends around the game. AJ does however spend a lot of his time outside of the game with his other passion - playing golf.

International call

He made his Twenty20 International debut for Australia against India on 29 January 2016.[6]
