The son of former Australian coach Tim, Harry Nielsen is a gifted wicketkeeper-batsman.

He made his List A debut in a Cricket Australia XI during last summer's JLT One-Day Cup, scoring an impressive 94 against Victoria while also taking one of the catches of the tournament against his South Australian teammates.

He famously stood-in for Quinton de Kock in South Africa’s 2016 tour match against a CA XI side, taking four catches for the match in an unexpected appearance at Adelaide Oval.

Sharp behind the stumps, Nielsen showcased his immense talent with the bat by scoring a magical century in his JLT Sheffield Shield debut for South Australia against Victoria in February.

He was added as a replacement player late in BBL|07 in the absence of fellow wicketkeeper Alex Carey and stepped up superbly in the Strikers' clutch semi-final victory over the Renegades.
