Rogers is a left-handed opening batsman.
He spent ten years with Western Australia before deciding to play for Victoria in 2008.
He has been playing county cricket in England for ten years, including first-class squads Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Middlesex, and Somerset.
Rogers set the record for consecutive innings despite being color blind and short-sighted, he maintained his first-class average of almost 50, but he did not register for the Australian national cricket team until the age of 30, when he was selected for a single Test match in 2008.
Age 35, he was called to the Australian national team for the 2013 Ashes series, and he spent a further 24 Tests opening the batting for Australia before retiring after the 2015 Ashes series.
Early life
John Rogers, Rogers' father, was born in St George, Sydney, and during the 1970s, he played for New South Wales. Ian Rogers, the Australian chess grandmaster, is also a cousin.
In 1996, Rogers appeared in one Youth Test match against New Zealand. Rogers' batting ability had resulted in some people calling him to be the next Australian opener, replacing Justin Langer.
Domestic career
He first came to England in 1996 to play in the Devon Cricket League for North Devon CC under the watchful eye of former Gloucestershire player and Test match umpire David Shepherd. He returned to action in 2013 with a total of 1,273 runs, but he was unable to save the Instow Club from relegation.
He played for Exeter in 2002, also in the Devon League, and in 2003, he returned to England to compete for Wellington CC in the Shropshire League, where they were promoted. He was unable to participate in Minor Counties cricket, but he did appear for Shropshire in the Nat West Trophy, where international players were allowed, but he made a duck in his first game.
He played well in England First Class cricket for Derbyshire in 2004, when he was recovering from a shoulder injury. In the second half of the 2005 season, he travelled to Leicestershire, where he averaged over 70 and scored one double-century against the touring Australians. He moved to Northamptonshire in 2006 and made his mark with fifty fours, two sixes, and a final score of 319 from 417 balls against Gloucestershire.
At the WACA, he and Marcus North tied for their third wicket partnership in October 2006, Western Australia vs Victoria. Rogers' 279 was the second highest ever by a West Australian, behind the 355 not out that Geoff Marsh scored at the same location in December 1989. Rogers was named 'State Cricket Player of the Year' at the Allan Border Medal presentation on February 5, 2007.
He returned to Derbyshire for the 2008 season, playing as an international player, but has since been named the temporary captain after Rikki Clarke's departure. Rogers has proven himself to be a versatile player both short-sighted and color blind (assassination being at a greater disadvantage when using the pink ball for the first day-night test against New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval). Rogers has also played for Shropshire, representing them in one match of the C&G Trophy. In 2008, he walked out on the Western Warriors, allegedly due to his position as a fringe-player in the state's one-day squad, and he moved to Victoria for the 2008/2009 season.
Rogers had a 248 not out in 2008, when he was playing for Derbyshire against Warwickshire. The result is the third highest single-innings total in a first-class match by a Derbyshire player, as well as the highest score in 62 years. Rogers had a double century for all four of the first-class domestic teams he had represented during his career.
Rogers joined Middlesex in the 2011 season and was named captain of the first-class County Championship team in 2014.
He arrived in 2016 at Somerset, and was named captain of the Championship team on his arrival. Rogers retired from first-class cricket at the end of the 2016 season; in his last match for Somerset, he made twin hundreds in their 325-run victory over Nottinghamshire;
International career
Rogers was granted his first national contract with Cricket Australia in May 2007. He was added to the Australia Test squad on January 13, 2008, as a back-up for injured Matthew Hayden's torned hamstring and test his Test debut in the third Test against India at the WACA Ground on January 16, but the Baggy Greens had to be replaced a day later because the heat was too hot to relieve headaches caused by fielding all day. Australia was aiming for their 17th straight Test victory, but the going was tough. In the first innings of 212 and 15 runs, Rogers scored four runs in the first innings of 212 and 15 as Australia failed to meet a target of over 400 runs. In April 2008, his national service was called off. Rogers said he "didn't see it coming," Rogers said. "I'll have to accept it and try to get back in."
Rogers was selected in the 13-man Australian Test squad for the 2013 Ashes tour in England on April 24, 2013, more than five years since his previous Test appearances. He started the batting early in the series, collaborating initially with Shane Watson and later with David Warner, and finishing the series with a 367 runs at 40.77, making him Australia's third-highest scorer. In the first innings of the fourth Test, Rogers scored his maiden Test century in a tough seaming environment at Durham's Riverside International Cricket Ground.
Rogers stayed in England as an opening batsman for the next two years. Rogers scored 463 runs at 46.30 to be Australia's third-highest scorer in the return Ashes series in the 2013/14 summer. In Australia's lucrative fourth-innings run-chase in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he scored his second Test century, his first on Australian soil, and he tied it up with his third Test century in the second innings of the New Year's Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, 119. In the second innings of the second Test in Port Elizabeth in February 2014, he then scored 107 against South Africa, his first test in the series, where he averaged 30.16. In late 2014, a two-Test series in the UAE against Pakistan was the leanest of Rogers' career, with only 88 runs at 22.00.
Rogers returned to form in the four-Test home series against India during the 2014/15 season, scoring 417 runs at 52.12.12 in the four-Test home series against India. He didn't make it to a century in the series, but he had to go for half-centuries in the last six innings. In its 2015 tour of the West Indies, he toured with Australia but missed both matches due to concussion after being struck in the head during a net session.
Rogers returned from concussion in England in 2015, his last match before retiring from international cricket after the tour. In the first Test at Cardiff, he extended his streak of consecutive Test half-century to a record-equalling seven wickets before being dismissed for ten in the second innings. In the first innings of the second Test at Lord's, he batted through the entire first day of his Test career (173) and finished with an unbeaten 49 before suffering a dizzy spell in the second innings. He finished the season with 480 runs at 60.00, the highest average across both teams, and was named Australian Player of the Series.
Rogers retired after a brief career of 25 Tests, but he earned acclaim for his consistent, batting at the top of the order; in particular, during the two Ashes series in England, he was one of Australia's most consistent batsmen under seaming and swinging conditions. He developed a fruitful opening partnership with David Warner, largely in an anchoring role to Warner's more dynamic style, though the pair shared 19 century partnerships in only 41 innings together.
Rogers' belated sendoff at the 2015 Boxing Day Test, when he rode a lap of honour around the MCG and purchased a mushroom stand to rest his Baggy Green cap.
Coaching career
Rogers was appointed as the head coach of the Victorian men's team in August 2020 on a two-year contract.
Rogers was named caretaker head-coach of the Melbourne Stars in January 2022 after the club's complete support staff, including head coach David Hussey, tested positive to COVID-19 along with ten players.
