[hide]Early life[edit]
Wade was born in Hobart on 26 December 1987. He is the son of Scott Wade, who played football for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the Clarence and Hobart Football Clubs in the Tasmanian Football League(TFL). His grandfather, Michael Wade, served as president of the Hobart Football Club.[2] Wade is the cousin of Collingwood Football Club forward Jeremy Howe.[3] Wade represented Tasmania in underage cricket and underage football, vice-captaining the Tassie Mariners in the TAC Cup, where he played alongside future Australian Football League players Sam Lonergan,Grant Birchall and Jack Riewoldt. He representing Australia at the 2006 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. At the age of 16, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and received two rounds of chemotherapy before he was cleared of the disease.[4]
Domestic career[edit]
Wade played one List A match for the Tasmania Tigers in the 2006–07 Ford Ranger One Day Cup season, which was his only match for Tasmania in any form of the game. His opportunities to be selected as a wicketkeeper in his home state were minimal[clarification needed] due to the presence of Tim Paine, who at the time was seen as the likely successor to Brad Haddin as wicketkeeper in the Australian national team. Rather than attempt to become a specialist batsman, Wade moved to Victoria in the 2007–08 season, and within two seasons he had established himself as the state's first choice wicketkeeper ahead of incumbent Adam Crosthwaite.[5]
Wade scored his maiden first-class century in the 2008–09 season. He made an important contribution to Victoria's win in the 2009–10 Sheffield Shield final againstQueensland, when he came out to bat with the team at 5/60 and scored 96 runs. Victoria won the match by 457 runs and Wade was named man of the match.[6]
In November 2013, Wade was suspended and fined for pitch tampering.[8]
In February 2015, Wade scored 152 for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, his highest first-class score to date.
International career[edit]

Following his success in domestic limited overs cricket, Wade was called up to the Australian team for the first time in October 2011, for a Twenty20 International against South Africa. In February 2012, he made his international breakthrough as a T20I player against India in Sydney, opening the batting and scoring 72 runs from 43 balls to earn theMan of the Match award.
Following that T20I series, Wade was called up to the Australian One Day International team for the 2011–12 Commonwealth Bank series. He won the Man of the Match award on debut, scoring 67 runs off 69 balls against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[9] During the series, he cemented his place as Australia's first choice limited overs wicket-keeper, and usually opened the batting.[5]
Wade was part of the Australian team for the 2011–12 tour of the West Indies as the limited overs wicketkeeper. However, after Test wicketkeeper Brad Haddin returned home before the Test matches because his daughter was ill, Wade was selected to replace him. He made his Test debut on 7 April against the West Indies at Barbados, and scored his maiden Test century (106) in the third Test in Roseau.[10] Wade was then selected ahead of Haddin for Australia's following Test series against South Africa in November 2012.[11]
However, from the 2013 Ashes series, Wade lost his Test position to Brad Haddin. He was also left out of the Australian2015 Cricket World Cup squad. However, after the retirement of Brad Haddin, Wade was called up to the team for the ODI, and T20I series against England in 2015. In the first match of 5-ODI series, Wade top scored with unbeaten 71 runs off 50 balls, giving the team in to victory. In the next matches, he showed some fast hitting and scored quick runs.[12]
