Kane Richardson: brief information about the player
Australian cricketer Kane Richardson is considered one of the best players in the bowler position. This is the result of a successful 13-year career of an athlete.
Kane Richardson was born in South Australia on February 12, 1991, but spent most of his childhood in the northern part of the mainland. Richo was forced to return to South Australia by cricket, the basics of which the future bowler learned in local teams South Australia and Melbourne Renegades. Richardson made his Big Bash debut in 2008 and began participating in the national under-19 team a year later.
Kane’s first outstanding performance came against Ireland, scoring 23 runs from 14 balls and taking three wickets. Let it not guarantee the Australians an incredible victory, but it became part of the overall success of the national team. Naturally, Richo got his share of fame. It also secured him a place in the under-19 national team, with which Richardson won the final against the Pakistanis. The Australian himself scored 44 points then, which significantly helped his team.
Richardson moved to the Indian Premier League in 2013, where he plays for such teams as Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
At that time, Richo was considered incredibly promising, so its transfer was one of the most expensive on the market. The Pune Warriors took advantage of this, buying out the player for almost $700,000 in equivalent. However, the Australian played only 3 matches for them, after which he was sold to Rajasthan Royals. Kane repaid the new club with 11 wickets in 7 matches. After 2 seasons, the Australian leaves the team for personal reasons.
Richardson remains in the IPL, where he finds a place in Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, the results of the Australian did not satisfy the management, so the player decided to return to his homeland, where he signed a 5-year contract with Melbourne Renegades.
Not much is known about the bowler’s personal life. He does not talk about his family, blog, or post daily photos. In this regard, fans were surprised by the abundant flow of wedding photos. Richardson’s wife, Nikki Kitching, was his long-time girlfriend, with whom he had been dating for about nine years.

Kane Richardson: interesting facts
Richardson is an adherent of veganism. The cricketer has completely abandoned animal products. The player does not explain such a radical decision in any way, but he is happy to give an interview on this topic.
Hence, the unambiguous position of the Australian regarding cricket balls made of genuine leather is clear. Kane has also spoken about this aspect of the game more than once, confirming that he worships the rules of cricket, but there is one point that he would not mind correcting – changing the material of the ball.
In April of this year, India became a hotbed of a new strain of covid-19. Indian medicine has not coped with such volumes of patients, reporting an unprecedented mortality rate. Against the background of what is happening, the desire to rid yourself of danger looks sensible. The same opinion was shared by Australian players Kane Richardson and Adam Zumba, who wished to return home. However, the path turned out to be thorny. Due to the ban of the Federal Government of India on leaving the country, the cricketers had to use a loophole that allowed them to circumvent the ban (transit through Doha).
In addition to cricket, the Australian is fond of other active sports. So Richardson confessed his love for tennis and swimming. Bowler was also seen playing hockey and football.
Younger brother Callen Richardson is also professionally involved in cricket, but so far at the under-19 level.
At the moment, it is difficult to calculate the financial condition of the player. However, several real estate objects and expensive cars indicate his position.
