He was born on June 27, 1984, and his birth date is considered to be June 27. A left-handed batsman who is known for his aggressive style, he made his Twenty20 debut for Victoria on New Year’s Day in 2007, when he scored 89 runs off of 38 balls. As part of his innings, he hit eight sixes. In 2004, he represented the Australian Cricket Academy on a trip that took him to India and Sri Lanka. In addition, he has played for Rajshahi Rangers in the National Championship Thirty Twenty Bangladesh.
It has been difficult for him to keep a consistent position in the limited overs squad, and in particular, the first-class team since he joined the team. His performance in the 20/20 final between Victoria and Western Australia was particularly noteworthy, as he struck 47 off of 20 balls. Because of this, he was awarded the title of man of the match. He hit Danny McLauchlan for 28 runs in a single over during his innings, including a six that left the WACA Ground and ended up in the practice nets, which are believed to be around 118 meters away. His innings also featured hitting Danny McLauchlan for six.
Along with the bowler Rob Cassell, he relocated from Victoria to South Australia after April 2010. He finished the season with a Twenty20 victory for South Australia against New South Wales, which was the culmination of an extraordinarily successful season. Not only did Blizzard win the honor for the greatest run scorer, but he also won the batsman of the year award for South African First. It was decided that he would begin the innings with Sachin Tendulkar when he was signed by the Mumbai Indians squad for the Indian Premier League in 2011.
It was during the 2011 season of the Champion League Twenty20 when Blizzard played several crucial innings for Mumbai Indians, which ultimately led to their victory and the title of champions. In addition, Blizzard was a member of the Rajashi Division, which competed on the domestic circuit representing Bangladesh. Beginning with the 2010–11 season, Blizzard has been participating in the SACA Grade Cricket Competition as a member of the Western Eagles cricket team. In the semi-final of the 2011–12 season, Blizzard made his comeback after suffering an Achilles tendon injury for six weeks. He scored an incredible 112 runs off of only 138 balls, including five fours and seven sixes.

Through his innings, Blizzard nearly single-handedly carried the Eagles into the Grand Final, which Blizzard was unable to participate in because of obligations he had to fulfill in the Indian Premier League. The year 2014 saw Blizzard’s return to Victoria, and he is expecting to make his debut with the Essendon Cricket Club during the 2014–2015 season. There were two seasons of the Canterbury Cricket in New Zealand’s Twenty20 domestic tournament: 2014–15 and 2015–16.
At the beginning of his cricketing career, the 33-year-old player played first-class cricket for Victoria. After that, he went on to play for South Australia and Tasmania. The fact that Blizzard was successful in the shorter format of the game, however, contributed to the expansion of his influence in the cricketing world. Blizzard, who is a standout in the Big Bash League in Australia, also played for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League during the 2011 season. During that time, he opened the batting for the team with Sachin Tendulkar, who is considered to be an Indian icon.
Additionally, he was a member of the Mumbai side that was victorious in the Champions League Twenty20 competition that took place in the same year. Before making the transfer to his current organization, the Sydney Thunder, the left-handed batter found his place in the Big Bash League (BBL), where he played for the Hobart Hurricanes for the first three seasons of his career under the franchise.
Blizzard ends as the fifth-highest run scorer for the Sydney side with 390 runs in 21 matches. He won the league in his second season with the Thunders, which coincided with his second season with the Thunders.
In his statement, Blizzard said that out of his 15 years of playing cricket, he spent ten years on the road. He cited the responsibility of his family as the reason for his decision to end a successful domestic career. Having just relocated to Melbourne with his wife Jess and son Eden, Blizzard is excited to be able to assist his wife in her talent management firm while also completing his Master of firm Administration degree. Even though he was never given the chance to play for Australia at the international level, the explosive left-handed player concludes his domestic career having participated in 98 Twenty20 matches and with a lifetime strike rate of 132.57 innings.
