Joseph Anthony "Joe" Burns (born 6 September 1989 in Herston, Queensland) is an Australian cricketer who plays forQueensland in Australian domestic cricket and represents Australia at Test & ODI levels. He is a right-handed opening batsmanbut can play anywhere in the top order. His fielding position is predominantly short leg (bat pad).

Domestic cricket career[edit]

Burns made an exceptional start in his Sheffield Shield debut against South Australia scoring 140 in February 2011. The following season saw him develop into one of the highest scoring batsman in Australian first-class cricket. His performances resulted in a call up to the Australia A to face the touring party from England, where he scored 114 in a one-day game, not long after being named the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year. Burns continued his good form on his return to Australia and was top scorer for the Brisbane Heat in their win over Perth Scorchers in the final of the 2012–13 Big Bash League season.[1]
His performances brought him to the attention of Leicestershire who signed him as a replacement for their overseas player,Ramnaresh Sarwan, between May and August of the 2013 County season.[2] This was curtailed in July, when a hip injury forced Burns to end his spell in England and return home to Queensland.[3]
He deputised for the Middlesex captain Adam Voges during the 2015 English season.

International career[edit]

In December 2014, Burns was selected to play for Australia in the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground following an injury to all rounder Mitchell Marsh. He batted at number 6 and scored 13 runs before being caught behind off Umesh Yadav.[4] He then managed to score two half centuries (58 and 66) in his second Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[5] He made his first Test century against New Zealand at the Gabba bringing up his century with two consecutive sixes off the bowling of off-spinner Mark Craig.
He made his One Day International debut for Australia against Ireland on 27 August 2015 in StormontBelfastNorthern Ireland. In his ODI debut, he scored a half century.[6]
