Career story

Lachlan Hearne career and playing journey

Who is Lachlan Hearne?

Lachlan David Hearne is an Australian top-order batter born in Camperdown, New South Wales, on 19 December 2000. He bats left-handed and is listed by Brisbane Heat and Cricket Australia as a right-arm off-spinner, although bowling has been a very small part of his senior career.

Hearne began in the New South Wales system, represented Australia at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup and later moved north to pursue more senior opportunity. Queensland gave him a route into both Sheffield Shield and One-Day Cup cricket, while Brisbane Heat added the Big Bash pathway.

He was 25 on 3 September 2026. His current positions are separate but compatible: Queensland selected him in its 2026/27 state squad, and Brisbane Heat holds his BBL contract through BBL|16.

Where did Lachlan Hearne begin his cricket career?

Hearne developed through New South Wales age-group cricket before entering senior domestic squads. The pathway led to Australia Under-19 selection and then first-class and List A debuts for New South Wales.

He played at the 2020 men's Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. In Australia's one-wicket quarter-final win over England, Hearne made 45 during a difficult chase after the innings had fallen to 4/17 and later 6/75.

Youth international cricket does not count as a senior international cap. It is still important pathway evidence because it placed Hearne against elite players of his age before he entered Australia's state competitions.

When did Lachlan Hearne make his first-class debut?

Hearne made his first-class debut for New South Wales against Queensland at North Dalton Park in Wollongong on 3 April 2021. The match introduced him to Sheffield Shield cricket before the later interstate move placed him on the other side of the same rivalry.

His early New South Wales opportunities were limited, so the debut date should not be confused with the start of a settled place. A first appearance establishes entry to the level; repeated selection and sustained output establish a career within it.

Through 17 March 2026, Hearne had played 19 first-class matches and 34 innings. He scored 923 runs, passed fifty seven times and converted one of those starts into a century.

When did Lachlan Hearne make his List A debut?

Hearne made his List A debut for New South Wales against Queensland at the Gabba on 14 February 2022. That match began his senior 50-over record, which later grew more substantially after he joined Queensland.

List A cricket and first-class cricket measure different demands. The one-day format rewards controlled scoring speed across 50 overs, while the multi-day game asks a batter to survive changing conditions and longer spells.

Hearne's List A output through the March 2026 cutoff was 527 runs from 17 matches at an average of 35.13 and a strike rate of 93.60. His high score of 107 remains his only century in the format.

Why did Lachlan Hearne move from New South Wales to Queensland?

Hearne relocated to Queensland in 2023 after limited senior opportunity in New South Wales. He joined Toombul and used Premier Cricket to make a strong case for higher honours rather than relying only on his earlier pathway reputation.

Queensland Cricket records 931 runs at 46.55 in his first Toombul season, including a double century. That club production helped him earn state opportunities and showed that the move was backed by completed innings, not simply a change of registration.

The interstate move did not create a second player identity. His New South Wales debuts, Toombul record, Queensland matches and Brisbane Heat appearances all belong to the same Lachlan David Hearne.

How did Lachlan Hearne score 106 against England Lions?

Hearne made 106 from 62 balls for a Cricket Australia XI against England Lions at Ian Healy Oval on 14 January 2025. He struck 15 fours and three sixes in a counterattack after his side had lost four wickets for 18 runs.

The innings supplied 106 of the next 158 team runs and changed the pace of the contest. Its value lies in both the score and the situation: Hearne attacked an England Lions bowling group when the innings could easily have collapsed.

This was a tour match performance, not a Big Bash or official international hundred. Keeping that competition boundary does not diminish the innings; it tells readers exactly what happened and prevents the same score being credited to the wrong career column.

What happened in Lachlan Hearne's 107 against New South Wales?

Hearne scored 107 from 91 balls for Queensland against New South Wales at Cricket Central on 13 February 2025. It was his maiden List A century and came against the state where his senior career had started.

Queensland had slipped to 4/54 before Hearne rebuilt the innings. He shared a 100-run stand with Max Bryant and then a 120-run partnership with Jack Wildermuth, hitting four fours and seven sixes before Queensland completed a 54-run win.

The innings combined repair and acceleration. Hearne did not begin with a protected platform; he entered during trouble, restored the total and then converted the recovery into a match-shaping hundred.

Why was Lachlan Hearne Queensland's One-Day Player of the Year?

Queensland named Hearne its men's One-Day Player of the Year for 2024/25 after a season led by the 107 against New South Wales. The award reflects his contribution within Queensland's 50-over campaign, not a claim that he was Australia's leading batter across every competition.

His club output also remained strong around state duty. Queensland's Premier Cricket awards report noted that a shortened club season still left him among the leading run scorers, with 347 KFC T20 Max runs and a season-best 163.

State and club achievements need separate labels because they involve different competitions and opposition. Together they explain why Queensland continued to invest in Hearne, but neither total should be folded into his professional List A aggregate.

When did Lachlan Hearne make his maiden first-class hundred?

Hearne scored his maiden first-class century for Queensland against South Australia at Adelaide Oval on 17 October 2025. He made 106, matching the numerical high of his England Lions innings but doing so in an official Sheffield Shield match.

The two scores of 106 are easy to merge accidentally. One was a rapid Cricket Australia XI tour-match innings in January 2025; the other was the first century in Hearne's recognised first-class record nine months later.

His first-class table therefore shows one hundred and a high score of 106. The earlier tour performance remains a career highlight, while the Adelaide innings controls the century count in the statistical record.

What are Lachlan Hearne's first-class statistics?

Through 17 March 2026, Hearne had scored 923 runs from 19 first-class matches and 34 innings. With two not-outs, his batting average was 28.84; his strike rate was 56.69 and his high score was 106.

The record contains one hundred and seven fifties. That distribution shows Hearne reached 50 on eight occasions but converted one of those starts into three figures, giving future Shield seasons a clear development question around repeat conversion.

He had bowled only 12 balls without taking a wicket and had taken three catches. Those numbers reinforce his primary role as a batter rather than a regular all-rounder.

What are Lachlan Hearne's List A statistics?

Hearne's List A record through the same cutoff was 527 runs from 17 matches and 15 innings. He averaged 35.13, scored at 93.60 runs per 100 balls and recorded one hundred and two fifties.

His 107 is the high score and the centrepiece of the sample. The average is higher than his first-class figure, but fewer than 20 matches remain a developing body of work rather than a final description of his ceiling.

Hearne also bowled 12 balls in List A cricket and took one wicket for seven runs. That isolated return documents an occasional option; it does not support presenting him as a frontline bowler.

Which team did Lachlan Hearne represent in the Big Bash?

Hearne made both of his completed Big Bash appearances for Brisbane Heat in BBL|15. He scored two against Adelaide Strikers on 31 December 2025 and one against Sydney Sixers on 5 January 2026.

The opponent in the second match caused an earlier attribution error: playing against Sydney Sixers did not make Hearne a Sixers player. The completed scorecard places him in Brisbane Heat's XI, so all two matches and three runs belong to the Heat.

Through BBL|15, his Big Bash and overall senior T20 record were identical: two matches, two innings, three runs, a high score of two and a strike rate of 37.50. Such a small sample cannot define his long-term T20 ability.

What is Lachlan Hearne's Brisbane Heat contract status?

Brisbane Heat signed Hearne on a two-year agreement before BBL|15, keeping him with the club through BBL|16. The deal followed his productive first full season with Queensland and added left-handed batting depth to the Heat squad.

Unlike an unused squad listing, Hearne's Heat association now includes two completed BBL|15 appearances. The contract still does not guarantee selection in BBL|16, and future runs must come from completed matches rather than preseason expectation.

Brisbane Heat is therefore both his current franchise and the team attached to his existing Big Bash record. There is no need to split his biography or statistics into separate team-specific profiles.

Is Lachlan Hearne in Queensland's 2026/27 squad?

Yes. Cricket Australia's 2026/27 state-contract announcement lists Hearne in Queensland's men's squad. The selection keeps him in the state's first-class and one-day plans after his 2024/25 award and 2025 maiden Shield hundred.

A contract list confirms current squad status, not a completed appearance in the new season. Match totals remain locked to the March 2026 statistical cutoff until a later completed scorecard changes them.

That distinction matters in an upcoming season. It allows readers to see that Hearne is active and available without adding matches, runs or milestones that have not happened.

What type of batter is Lachlan Hearne?

Hearne is a left-handed top-order batter whose strongest completed innings combine rebuilding with acceleration. The 107 against New South Wales came from a score of 4/54, while the 62-ball 106 against England Lions showed a much faster counterattacking gear.

His maiden Shield hundred adds a third setting: a multi-day state match at Adelaide Oval. Those innings demonstrate range across match types, although three peaks do not by themselves prove a fixed role in every Queensland or Heat XI.

Batting position, pitch, opposition and match state can change the assignment. His broader averages and match counts provide repeatability context; the individual innings explain the circumstances hidden inside those totals.

Does Lachlan Hearne bowl regularly?

No. Hearne is listed as a right-arm off-spinner by Brisbane Heat and Cricket Australia, but his senior workload is only 24 recorded balls across first-class and List A cricket. He has one List A wicket and none in first-class cricket.

Queensland's player listing has carried a different secondary bowling label, creating a minor classification conflict. The current Heat and Cricket Australia identity pages support right-arm off spin, while the actual workload is too small for bowling style to define his role.

The practical description is a specialist batter who can offer occasional bowling. Calling him an established all-rounder would give 24 balls more weight than hundreds of batting innings deliveries.

Which teams has Lachlan Hearne represented?

Hearne's career includes Australia Under-19, New South Wales, Queensland, Toombul, Cricket Australia XI and Brisbane Heat. Each association represents a different competition level, season or stage of development.

New South Wales owns his first senior domestic debuts, Queensland owns his major state hundreds and current contract, and Brisbane Heat owns both his completed Big Bash appearances. Cricket Australia XI owns the 62-ball 106 against England Lions.

Keeping those labels precise prevents two common record errors: moving an old performance to a new team after a transfer, or treating an opponent as the team the player represented.

What is known about Lachlan Hearne's salary and net worth?

No audited public figure establishes Hearne's take-home salary, complete career earnings or net worth. Brisbane Heat disclosed the length of his contract, but not a complete personal financial statement.

A league payment, contract band or match fee would describe one part of gross cricket income. It would not reveal tax, agent fees, bonuses, expenses, investments, liabilities or assets.

A numerical estimate would therefore create false precision. The dependable public fact is that Hearne holds Queensland and Brisbane Heat contracts for their stated seasons; his private finances are not established.

What is public about Lachlan Hearne's family and relationships?

Public cricket coverage concentrates on Hearne's interstate move, teams and performances. It does not establish family information that is necessary to explain his playing career.

No dependable public report confirms a wife, girlfriend or current relationship. Social-media interactions, photographs and repeated claims on low-trust biography sites cannot establish a private relationship or consent to publish it.

Hearne's professional story can be told through scorecards, contracts and career decisions. Private family occupations or relationship rumours would not improve the accuracy of that record.

Lachlan Hearne records and achievements

Hearne's standout tour-match innings is 106 from 62 balls for a Cricket Australia XI against England Lions, struck with 15 fours and three sixes. His senior List A high is 107 from 91 balls for Queensland against New South Wales in a 54-run win.

Queensland named him its men's One-Day Player of the Year for 2024/25. In October 2025, he added a maiden first-class hundred of 106 against South Australia at Adelaide Oval.

He also represented Australia at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, built a 931-run first Toombul season and entered the 2026/27 Australian summer in both Queensland's state squad and Brisbane Heat's BBL|16 group.

What should readers watch next for Lachlan Hearne?

The next Queensland season will show whether Hearne can convert more of his first-class fifties into hundreds. Eight scores of 50 or more from 19 matches provide a base, while only one recognised first-class century leaves room for growth.

BBL|16 presents a different question: whether Brisbane gives him a longer run than the two brief innings of BBL|15. Selection, batting position and completed scores will matter more than the existence of the contract alone.

Any future change should be measured against the same format boundaries. Queensland results update his state totals, Heat matches update the Big Bash line, and club cricket remains a separate competition record.

Conclusion

Lachlan Hearne's rise in Queensland is built on three different hundreds: a 62-ball counterattack for a Cricket Australia XI, a match-winning List A 107 and a maiden first-class 106. His 923 first-class runs and 527 List A runs show the wider record behind those peaks.

The 2026/27 season gives him two clear opportunities. Queensland can test his red-ball and 50-over conversion, while Brisbane Heat can expand a Big Bash record that currently contains only two short innings. Both completed BBL appearances already belong to the Heat, and future totals should remain tied to completed scorecards.
