About Jon Holland

  • Jonathan Mark "Jon" Holland (born 29 May 1987) is an Australian cricketer.
  • He is a slow left-arm orthodox bowler and a right-handed tail-end batsman. Holland made his first-class and List A debuts for Victoria in October 2008, before playing his first Twenty20 match in January 2009.
  • Although his figures from four Sheffield Shield matches, five one-day games and two Twenty20s were moderate, he showed enough potential to earn a place in the Australia A team that beat Pakistan A in Queensland in mid-2009.
  • His solid performances in that series led to Holland being named in Australia's 30-man preliminary squad for the Champions Trophy.
  • Though he didn't make the final cut then, his chance to represent the senior Australian team came soon after, when he was included in the 15-man squad for the seven-ODI tour to India. It was a major vote of confidence in Holland, who missed most of 2007–08 with a shoulder problem.
  • A former Australia under-19s player who has also spent time at the Centre of Excellence, Holland is a naturally attacking spinner who has subtle changes of pace and can turn the ball sharply.
  • A former sports science student, he was upgraded to a full Victoria contract for 2009–10 after three years on the rookie list.
