Will Bosisto
Australian cricketer
William Giles Bosisto (born 8 September 1993) is an Australian cricketer. He captained Australia in the 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup, where he was named the player of the tournament, and later played domestic cricket for Western Australia and South Australia cricket team. He also played franchise Twenty20 cricket for the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League in Australia and for the Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier League.
Cricket career
At the 2011–12 Australian Under-19 Championships, Bosisto captained Western Australia, and was subsequently selected to captain the Australian under-19 cricket team at the 2012 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Through the tournament, Bosisto batted in a slow, level-headed fashion, scoring his runs at a slow strike rate but helping to steady Australia's innings when early wickets had fallen. In Australia's quarter-final against Bangladesh, Bosisto was at the crease when teammate Jimmy Peirson was controversially dismissed by Mankading by Bangladesh bowler Soumya Sarkar. Bosisto asked for Bangladesh to withdraw their appeal, but the team did not. Bosisto responded by scoring 71 runs not out, facing 134 deliveries to reach the total, and was named the player of the match. This was his fourth consecutive innings in the tournament without being dismissed, leading Australia to four consecutive victories. Bosisto was finally dismissed for the first time in the tournament in Australia's semi-final against South Africa, when Australia were just four runs away from winning the match.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Will Bosisto” as australian cricketer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as australian cricketer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8002709. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2012 and 2011.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
