Hilton Cartwright
Hilton William Raymond Cartwright (born 14 February 1992) is a Zimbabwean born Australian international cricketer who plays for Western Australia and the Melbourne Stars. He is a right-handed all-rounder. Cartwright made his Test debut for the Australian national team in January 2017, having earlier played for Australia A and the National Performance Squad. In January 2017 he won the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year prize awarded by Cricket Australia.
Cartwright was born in Harare, Zimbabwe. He spent his early life in Marondera, but at the age of 11 emigrated to Australia with his family after their tobacco farm was occupied.
"I don’t remember a huge amount of the bad side of Zimbabwe," said Cartwright. "I remember living on a farm. Our cousins, were down the road. It was only in the last year or so when we had to move out of our farm home and live with my mum’s side of the family in Harare was when my perspective started to change."
His family settled in Perth, Western Australia, where he attended Wesley College.
After his arrival to Perth, Cartwright impressed locals with his cricket skills. Cartwright was picked for the under-13 South Perth Cricket Club district team where he had early success, averaging 34 in his first season. After three more successful seasons, he made his grade-cricket debut in third grade, scoring an unbeaten 50*.
Cartwright represented Western Australia at the 2008–09 Australian Under-17 Championships, and subsequently progressed to the state's under-23 side in the Futures League, debuting in February 2012.
Cartwright said, "When I was younger, I saw myself as a batting all-rounder, and then I started taking a few wickets and people started saying, ‘'Oh you're a bowling all-rounder'’ because I was out of form with my batting. So it was quite hard to try to keep the idea of myself as a batting all-rounder in my own mind."
At grade cricket level, he plays for the South Perth Cricket Club. Cartwright also holds British citizenship, and spent the 2010 English season playing for Sidmouth in the Devon Cricket League.
