He is also a handy bowler, he proved that in the Semi-final game against Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club by picking 5 wickets for 95 runs. After consistently performing at the U19 and Club level, Maddison finally made his first-class debut against South Australia on October 11, 2010.
He scored a fine century of 113 runs on his debut and became the youngest NSW player to do so. Maddison also made List-A debut in the same month on October 9, 2010. He scored a brilliant fifty off 54 runs and looked impressive with the bat.

Nic has played 6 T20I games so far and has scored 45 runs at an average of just 11.25. He played his last game way back in 2018.
Maddinson is yet to replicate his domestic brilliance at the big stage and will be desperate to score when he gets his chance.
