Keaton Critchell joined WA ahead of the 2024-25 season, placing his career as a Physical Education teacher on hold to accept his first state contract.
An experienced Premier Cricket campaigner, the Midland-Guildford skipper rose to prominence in February 2024 with back-to-back centuries for WA's second XI against Tasmania's reserves.
Critchell made his WA debut in a One-Day Cup match against Tasmania later that month, before representing the Emerging Scorchers during the 2024 Top End T20 Series in August 2024.
The batting allrounder strikes the ball cleanly and is a useful seam-bowling option with experience across all formats in Premier Cricket.
