Dominic Peter "Dom" Michael (born 8 October 1987) is an Australian cricketer who plays domestically for Tasmania. A left-handed batsman, he previously played for Queensland, and has also represented two Big Bash League franchises, the Brisbane Heat and the Hobart Hurricanes.
Michael was born in Brisbane to a Greek Cypriot father and a Samoan mother.[1] After appearances at under-19 and Futures League level, he made his senior debut for Queensland late in the 2012–13 season, playing two Sheffield Shield fixtures and one Ryobi One-Day Cup game.[2][3] The holder of an EU passport through his father, Michael signed as the Netherlands' overseas player for the 2013 Yorkshire Bank 40 tournament, an English domestic competition.[4] He finished as the second leading runscorer for the Netherlands, behind Wesley Barresi,[5] and also found time to play three Second XI Championship matches for Kent.[6]
Michael signed with the Brisbane Heat for the 2013–14 season, but his only match for the team came at the 2013 Champions League Twenty20 event in India, in which he scored a duck.[7] He added another three Sheffield Shield matches for Queensland, but for the following season moved to Tasmania.[8] Michael once again played only a single match for the state BBL franchise, the Hobart Hurricanes,[7] but had more success in his Shield appearances for Tasmania. Against South Australia, he scored a maiden first-class half-century, 97 from 215 balls opening with Ed Cowan,[9] which was followed by 52 against Victoria two matches later.[10]
