Career

From Brisbane, Jeh played in the state second XI competition during the 2024-25 season for Queensland with his efforts including a five-wicket haul and the dismissal of Glenn Maxwell. Jeh was called-up to the Australia A squad in June 2025, despite being yet to make a professional cricket debut, as Australia valued left arm orthodox spin for future tours of Asia. [1] He made his List A debut and first-class debut for Australia A against Sri Lanka A in July 2025. [2]

Following his appearances for Australia A, Jeh was automatically upgraded to a full contract with Queensland for the 2025-26 season. [3] [4]

Personal life

Of Sri Lankan descent, his father Michael Jeh was also a first-class cricketer from Sri Lanka who played in England before setting in Australia. [5] [6] [7] He has two younger siblings, Sierra and Saxon. [8]
