Tasmania, an Australian state, has a rich history of producing cricketers who have represented Australia across all formats of the game-Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). The first Tasmanian to don the Australian jersey was Sam Morris, who made his sole Test appearance during the 2nd Test of the 1884/85 Ashes series. Notably, Ricky Ponting is the only Tasmanian to have captained Australia in all three formats.
