Jonathan Merlo is a genuine all-rounder who bats in the middle order. He is a clean striker of the cricket ball and a decent first change seamer. He is an asset in the field too. He might not be a finished product but his skillset are apt for T20 format and that is the reason, Melbourne Stars have handed him a contract for the Big Bash.

Jonathan was also a part of the Australia under-19 in 2018. He saved his best game for the final against India and played a brilliant inning of 76. Unfortunately, his innings wasn't good enough to steer his team to the title.
