His son Austin has been selected in the Australia U 19 squad for the Under 19 World Cup in New Zealand in January 2018. Austin is an all rounder like his father, bats in the middle order and bowls medium pace.
Earlier this month, Austin destroyed Western Australia in a U-19 game when he picked up 5 wickets for just 19 runs. Apart from his bowling skills, Austin is a sound batsman who has scored a lot of runs at the Under 17 and 19 level.
Austin will look to make an impression in the U 19 World Cup and make it to the next level in the near future.

A passionate fan of Team India, Cricket has a special place in his heart owing to the way the sport has continued to evolve over the years. He is also thrilled by the competitiveness on display across all formats in the sport. His favorite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar and reckons that his childhood idol's dominance over world-class bowlers in the 1990s speaks volumes about his skills and achievements.
Meit has had the privilege of interviewing Indian speedster Ishant Sharma and India Women's legend Mithali Raj so far in his professional career.
If he ever laid his hands on a time machine, Meit would love to witness the 2023 ICC World Cup final between India and Australia and believes that ODIs should never be completely replaced by T20Is owing to the format's popularity.
