James Jordan Bazley (born 8 April 1995) is an Australian cricketer.[1] He has been described as an all-rounder who is a medium-fast bowler and power-hitting lower order batsman.[2]

Bazley began his cricket career playing for the Sunshine Coast Cricket Club in Queensland Premier Cricket.[3] He was selected to represent Australia at the 2014 Under 19 World Cup and was described as having an important impact in the tournament with bat and ball.[2] He received a rookie contract with the Brisbane Heat the same year.[4] He did not play for the Brisbane Heat in the 2014–15 season but was selected to represent a Cricket Australia XI in a T20 tour game against South Africa.[5]

In 2015 Bazley was selected in the squad of the newly established Cricket Australia XI which competed in the 2015–16 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup,[2] and he made his List A debut for the team on 5 October 2015.[6] In November he was named as twelfth man in the Cricket Australia XI for a tour game against the visiting West Indies Test team,[3] and he ultimately played in the match making his first-class debut and taking four wickets across two innings bowling and scoring a 50 in the only innings he batted in.[7]

In 2015 Bazley received a rookie contract with the Queensland state team and was still playing for Sunshine Coast in grade cricket,[8] and as of 2017 he had received a full state contract with Queensland but had moved to East Redlands in grade cricket.[9] In 2016 he received a contract from the Hobart Hurricanes,[10] and he suffered a career-threatening groin injury whilst training with the side in 2017 being sidelined for the entirety of the 2017/18 season and the vast majority of the 2018/19 season.[4]

In the 2019/20 season Bazley returned to cricket by playing for the East Redlands side in Queensland Premier Cricket and the Queensland 2nd XI,[4] and he was contracted by the Brisbane Heat for the 2020/21 Big Bash League.[5] In 2021 he returned to the Queensland state team receiving a full contract,[11] and he was re-signed by the Heat for the 2022/23 Big Bash League.[12]

On 9 August 2023, Bazley signed with Adelaide Strikers on a multi-year deal starting in 2023/24.[13]
