Scott Janett's cricketing journey began in the serene suburbs of Melbourne, where he first picked up a cricket bat at the tender age of seven. A natural aptitude for both batting and bowling quickly shone through, making him an allrounder to watch. Encouraged by his family and local coaches, Scott moved through the junior ranks with ease, catching the eye of talent scouts with his consistent performances for his school and local club.
By the age of 17, Scott was representing Victoria's Under-19 team, impressing with his distinctive right-handed batting technique marked by elegant drives and a knack for finding gaps with ease. His bowling, a versatile blend of medium pace and cunning spin, added an unpredictable edge to his game, often leaving batsmen guessing and contributing to his formidable reputation on the field.
In early 2019, Scott made his professional debut for Victoria in the Sheffield Shield, making an immediate impact by scoring a gritty half-century and claiming wickets with his deftly varied deliveries.

These matches, characterised by Scott's calm under fire and his tactical acumen, have become the stuff of legend among state cricket followers.
On the international stage, Scott made his mark as part of the national team’s T20 side, where his versatility with the ball and power hitting earned him accolades. His decisive two-over spell in a tight contest against England in 2022, claiming three crucial wickets for just 14 runs, firmly established him as a game-changer.
