Nick Tsagaris, a fast bowler who relocated from New South Wales to Tasmania to play first-class cricket, rewarded his new team with a brilliant first season in 2011-12. He led the competition with 53 Sheffield Shield wickets at an average of 16.00, and he was instrumental in Tasmania reaching the final. Nick Tsagaris was also won Sheffield Shield Player of the Year, making his choice to relocate south from Manly-Warringah in Sydney's grade competition to Tasmania seems fantastic. Nick Tsagaris does not bowl fast, but he consistently attacks the stumps, and this precision, paired with just enough swing and seam movement, has made him a very dangerous threat at Shield level.
Nick Tsagaris was called up to Australia A team for the 2012 tour of England and was promoted to the national squad for the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka later that year after a strong start to the 2012-13 Shield season. He was named Man of the Match in his second Test against Sri Lanka in Sydney, however, he only played one Test for Australia during the 2013 Ashes trip before being dropped. However, he was recalled for the 2016 New Zealand Test tour, when selectors hoped his ability to move the ball would compensate for his lack of express pace.
He struggled in the first Test in Wellington, but he was instrumental in Australia's victory in the second match in Christchurch, taking five second-innings wickets and seven for the Test. Over the next 18 months, he would play four more Tests, but none in 2018. He dominated Tasmania's 2018-19 Sheffield Shield season, collecting 50 wickets at 22.22, including two 10-wicket hauls, to keep himself in contention.
