Alex Tyson Carey, born on August 27, 1991, in Loxton, South Australia, is a professional cricketer who represents the national men's team as a wicket-keeper-batsman in Test cricket and One Day Internationals (ODIs). Growing up, Carey played both cricket and Australian rules football, playing for Glenelg in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). In 2009, he represented South Australia in the AFL Under-18 Championships and later joined the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League (AFL).
After moving away from Australian rules football, Carey began playing cricket for the Glenelg Cricket Club in all formats. Due to his consistent form, he earned a spot in South Australia's List A and first-class teams. In January 2018, he made his international debut for Australia in an ODI match against England in Brisbane, followed by his T20I debut the next month against New Zealand in Sydney. In the 2021–22 Ashes series, he made his Test debut as a replacement for former captain Tim Paine.
