Jimmy Peirson is a right-handed wicketkeeper who has played for Queensland since 2013/14. He made his debut for the Heat in 2014/15 and has remained with the team ever since.

Jimmy is an agile fielder, having been recognised as one of Australia's best young keepers by International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2015. 

He also excels at hitting boundaries and regularly scores runs off the back foot - something that can be crucial on tricky batting tracks such as Brisbane's Gabba ground which often favours batsmen over bowlers.

In September 2017, he was named captain of Queensland’s under-19 side ahead of their upcoming Under-19 national championships in Tasmania next month where they will aim to qualify for ICC World Cup U17 2019 tournament held in New Zealand later this year.

Jimmy Peirson was born on the 10th of December 1988 in Sydney, New South Wales. He played cricket for Australia at under-19 level and made his debut for NSW in 2008/09 season.

In 2011 he made his international debut against Sri Lanka and has since played 56 matches for Australia scoring 2,690 runs at an average of 35.86 with a top score of 132 not out in 2017 ICC World Cup Qualifier match against Zimbabwe which helped Australia qualify to play in the tournament as hosts. 

Jimmy is contracted by Cricket Australia until the end of 2020 and will be part-time bowler having taken 5 wickets at an average of 33 from 48 overs across T20s and first class cricket so far this season.

Cameron Boyce is a right-handed bowler who played for Queensland in the T20I format. He debuted for Australia against Pakistan in October 2014 and has since featured regularly in the side.

Cameron Boyce made his List A debut for Adelaide Strikers in 2012, before switching to play for Queensland from 2015 onwards. In January 2016 he was part of Australia's squad that won the ICC World Twenty20 tournament held in India.

Cameron Boyce was born on July 27 1989, making him just 33 years old at present - an impressive age given his experience playing international cricket Cameron Boyce is a cricketer who has represented Australia in both Twenty20 and One Day Internationals.

Boyce made his international debut for Australia in December 2014, playing against New Zealand at the WACA Ground. 

He went on to make 48 appearances for Australia in T20Is, scoring 4 960 runs with an average of 17.14 and 10 565 with a strike rate of 130.77; he also took 8 wickets with an bowling average of 49.92 and best figures of 2/10 from 7 overs from the bowlers' end.

In January 2019, Boyce was named captain of Melbourne Renegades for their inaugural season in the Big Bash League (BBL). 

He led his team to two wins during their first three matches before being ruled out due to injury sustained earlier that month while batting against Hobart Hurricanes at Etihad Stadium.

This ruled him out of the Australian side's upcoming tour of South Africa later that year as well as contention for the BBL Player-of-the-Year award which he had been leading prior to his injury.

I'm gutted it won't be possible but I just want to thank my teammates, coaches and supporters who have all rallied around me," said Boyce after learning about his injuries.
