&lt;br /&gt;
From [[Perth]], Western Australia, Voges excelled at cricket from an early age, attending the [[Western Australian Institute of Sport]] and playing for the [[Australia Under-19 cricket team|Australian under-19 team]]. He made his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut for Western Australia in the 2002–03 [[Sheffield Shield]], and had established himself in the team by the middle of the decade, playing as a middle-order batsman and part-time [[left-arm orthodox]] bowler. Voges debuted for Australia during the [[2006–07 Chappell–Hadlee Trophy]], and played irregularly at both ODI and T20I level throughout the remainder of the decade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2012, after [[Marcus North]]&amp;#039;s resignation, Voges was appointed acting captain of Western Australia. For the inaugural [[Big Bash League]], he signed with the [[Melbourne Stars]] franchise, although he switched to the [[Perth Scorchers]] the following season. In overseas competitions, Voges has represented [[Hampshire County Cricket Club|Hampshire]], [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]], and [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]] (captain 2015–2016) in English county cricket, and also played for the [[Rajasthan Royals]] in the [[Indian Premier League]] and the [[Jamaica Tallawahs]] in the [[Caribbean Premier League]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges made his Test debut for Australia in June 2015, aged 35, and scored [[List of centuries scored on Test cricket debut|a century on debut]] against the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]]. He recorded a second century in November 2015, against [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]], and later scored 269 not out, 106 not out, and 239 in consecutive innings from December 2015 to February 2016, breaking [[Sachin Tendulkar]]&amp;#039;s record for the most runs between dismissals in Test cricket.&amp;lt;ref name=bbc13feb16&amp;gt;[https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/35568386 Adam Voges: Australia batsman takes Test average over 100 in New Zealand], BBC Sport, 13 February 2016. Retrieved 13 March 2016.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2017, Voges announced his retirement from international cricket. His last match was as captain of the [[Prime Minister&amp;#039;s XI]] team [[Sri Lankan cricket team in Australia in 2016–17|against Sri Lanka]] on 15 February 2017.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;retire&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-sri-lanka-2016-17/content/story/1082324.html |title=Voges announces international retirement |access-date=14 February 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo|date=14 February 2017 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;last&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-sri-lanka-2016-17/content/story/1082560.html |title=Sri Lankan XI warm up by thrashing PM&amp;#039;s XI |access-date=15 February 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The next month, he also announced his retirement from domestic cricket, following the conclusion of the [[2016–17 Sheffield Shield season]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;domestic&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/1086738.html |title=Voges, Doherty and Hartley opt for retirement |access-date=15 March 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Early career==&lt;br /&gt;
Born in [[Subiaco, Western Australia]], Voges was raised in [[Rockingham, Western Australia|Rockingham]], and attended [[Safety Bay Senior High School]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.perthscorchers.com.au/team/player-profiles/adam-voges Adam Voges player profile] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121015064506/http://www.perthscorchers.com.au/team/player-profiles/adam-voges |date=15 October 2012 }} – Perth Scorchers. Retrieved 9 November 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In [[Western Australian Grade Cricket|WACA District Cricket]], he originally fell under the Rockingham-Mandurah District Cricket Club&amp;#039;s recruitment zone, but transferred to the Melville Cricket Club on a special permit. He went on to tour with the Western Australia under-19 cricket team, and captained the team during the 1998–99 season, later playing for Australia at under-19 level.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.melvillecricket.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=32:1990s&amp;amp;catid=20:general&amp;amp;Itemid=45 History: 1990s] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320121447/http://www.melvillecricket.org/index.php?option=com_content&amp;amp;view=article&amp;amp;id=32:1990s&amp;amp;catid=20:general&amp;amp;Itemid=45 |date=20 March 2012 }} – Melville Cricket Club. Retrieved 9 November 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Voges was the winner of the 2001–02 Olly Cooley Medal for the best player in the WACA grade cricket competition. Voges made his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut on 8 December 2002 for Western Australia in the [[Pura Cup]] match against [[Tasmanian Tigers|Tasmania]]. After averaging only 17 with the bat in the four matches he played, he spent the 2003/04 season playing grade cricket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2004/05/06 seasons==&lt;br /&gt;
He made his [[List A]] debut in the [[ING Cup (cricket)|ING Cup]] match against Tasmania in October 2004, and was also recalled to the Pura Cup team. In just his second one-day match at [[North Sydney Oval]], Voges set the record for the fastest [[ING Cup (cricket)|domestic one-day]] century, bringing up his 100 off only 62 balls (and hitting the [[ING Group|ING]] sign on one of his 7 sixes, which earned him $50,000). He finished the ING Cup season with an average of just under 32, and a Pura Cup average of 72 from 6 matches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2005/06 was a mixed season, which saw him average 34 in Pura Cup and 49 in the ING Cup.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==2006/07 season and international selection==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Adam Voges 2010.jpg|left|thumb| Voges batting for WA against Victoria in the [[2009–10 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006/07, Voges enjoyed a very good start to the season with two first-class centuries in his first three matches. This good form led to his surprise selection to the Australian squad for the 3rd [[Ashes 2006/07|Ashes Test]]. On Friday, 8 December 2006, Australian selectors had been expected to select an unchanged lineup, but due to the shock retirement of [[Damien Martyn]], selection processes were re-thought with [[Andrew Symonds]] and Voges drafted into the 13-man lineup. Voges also scored 150 against [[Tasmania cricket team|Tasmania]], nearly chasing down a total of 400 early in the season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges learned of the news during a tour match between his team, the Cricket Australia XI, and the [[England &amp;amp; Wales Cricket Board|ECB]] Chairman&amp;#039;s XI at [[Lilac Hill]]. Of his learning of the selection, Voges said: &amp;quot;Tony Dodemaide tapped me on the shoulder and he said: &amp;#039;Come with me. You&amp;#039;re being substituted&amp;#039;. I thought I was in trouble.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Andrew Miller, [http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/australia/content/story/271824.html Voges looks over his shoulder for call-up], ESPNcricinfo, 8 December 2006. Retrieved 9 December 2006.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges made his [[One Day International|ODI]] debut on 20 February 2007 vs New Zealand in the [[Chappell–Hadlee Series]] before being selected for the [[Australian cricket team in India in 2007–08|Tour of India]] in September 2007.  In December 2007 he made his [[Twenty20 International]] debut, also against New Zealand, at his home ground in Perth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 February 2009, Voges made a stunning catch in a [[Twenty20]] game against [[New Zealand Cricket Team|New Zealand]] at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]] to catch [[Brendon McCullum]] out for 61 in the penultimate over. Catching the ball on the boundary line, but not in full control (as the rules for a catch demand) he tossed the ball forwards into the air as he tumbled backwards over the boundary rope.  He then scrambled back into the field of play and took a diving catch low to the ground.  The 3rd umpire confirmed a valid catch and centre umpire [[Paul Reiffel]] (former Australian bowler) gave McCullum out.  Australia went on to win the match by one run.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cricket.com.au/default.aspx?s=news-display&amp;amp;id=15444 |title=www.sitecore.net |publisher=Cricket.com.au |access-date=30 December 2015}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges was included in Australia&amp;#039;s one-day squad for the [[Australian cricket team in South Africa in 2008–09|tour of South Africa]]. Batsman [[Marcus North]] was called up as batting cover while Voges returned home to marry his fiancée. Voges commented that &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a big thing to give up an opportunity to play for Australia. But I guess you only get married once and that&amp;#039;s important to me and a decision I&amp;#039;ve made and one that I&amp;#039;m comfortable with&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/rsavaus2009/content/current/story/395443.html |title=Voges puts wife before work |author=ESPNcricinfo staff |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=17 March 2009 |access-date=17 March 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges also played in the ODI match against Scotland on 28 August 2009. He made 72, the second highest score behind [[David Hussey]] who made 111. Australia won the match.&lt;br /&gt;

In April 2015, Voges was called up to the Australian Test Cricket squad for the first time, and made his Test debut in [[Dominica]] two months later when a head injury prevented [[Chris Rogers (cricketer)|Chris Rogers]] from taking part in the [[Australian cricket team in the West Indies in 2015|first Test against the West Indies]].&amp;lt;ref name=Wilde&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Wilde |first=Simon |author-link=Simon Wilde |date=7 June 2015 |title=Voges Comes of Age for Australia |url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/voges-comes-of-age-for-australia-7zncn36hxjf |url-access=subscription |website=[[The Times]] |location=London |access-date=29 December 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Before the match, he was presented with his [[baggy green|baggy green cap]] by [[Brendon Julian]], who had made his own Test debut for Australia on the same day 22 years earlier.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Buckle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Buckle |first=Greg |date=4 June 2015 |title=What Brendon Julian Said to Adam Voges When He Presented Him with His Baggy Green Cap |url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/what-brendon-julian-said-to-adam-voges-when-he-presented-him-with-his-baggy-green-cap/news-story/088c810c69e6c71e2f338c0cb99eeb9a |website=[[Herald Sun]] |location=Melbourne |access-date=29 December 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By scoring a century in the first innings, Voges became the oldest centurion on Test debut,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Test&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/810423.html |title=Australia tour of West Indies, 1st Test: West Indies v Australia at Roseau, Jun 3–7, 2015 |access-date=3 June 2015 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Century&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.9news.com.au/world/2015/06/05/05/00/adam-voges-scores-century-on-test-debut-to-rescue-aussies |title=Adam Voges scores century on Test debut to rescue Aussies |access-date=4 June 2015 |work=9 News}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and subsequently the oldest player to be named man-of-the-match in their opening game at Test level.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |author=ESPNcricinfo staff |title=Adam Vosges – Overview |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/adam-voges-8119 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=28 December 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Voges was named as stand-in test Vice-Captain for Australia after [[David Warner (cricketer)|David Warner]] suffered a thumb fracture during the ODI series against England from the bowling of [[Steven Finn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 11 December 2015, Voges eclipsed the Bellerive Oval&amp;#039;s scoring record, passing Ricky Ponting&amp;#039;s record of 209 runs.  He then surpassed [[Doug Walters]]&amp;#039; record of 242 for the highest score by an Australian against the West Indies. This was also his second century against West Indies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;At the age of 36 and 68 days, the Western Australian is the fourth-oldest Australian to achieve the feat behind Test greats [[Sir Donald Bradman]], [[Allan Border]] and [[Ricky Ponting]]. [[Jack Ryder (cricketer)|Jack Ryder]] is the only other Australian to have posted a Test double ton beyond the age of 35.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title = &amp;#039;Old man&amp;#039; Voges joins the greats|url = http://www.cricket.com.au/news/adam-voges-double-century-fifth-australian-35-plus-first-test-west-indies-hobart/2015-12-11|website = cricket.com.au|access-date = 2015-12-11}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This also makes him the oldest Australian to join the list of test double-centurions. The 449-run partnership between Voges and [[Shaun Marsh]] in this match was the highest 4th wicket partnership in [[Test cricket]] history at the time, the highest partnership in Australia, the highest against the West Indies, and the second-highest in Tests for Australia. It is also the sixth-highest ever partnership in Test history.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/voges-marsh-notch-up-record-fourth-wicket-stand-in-tests-951153|title=Voges, Marsh notch up record fourth-wicket stand in Tests|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=19 December 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In the [[Boxing Day Test]], he became the third batsman to score over 1000 runs in his debut year ([[Mark Taylor (cricketer)|Mark Taylor]] with 1219 runs in 1989 and [[Alastair Cook]] with 1013 in 2006).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title = WI 91/6 (43.0 ov, CR Brathwaite 3*, DM Bravo 13*, PM Siddle 2/19) – Stumps.

&lt;br /&gt;
On 13 February 2016, during the [[Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 2015–16#1st Test|First Test]] against [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]], Voges made his second Test double-century, scoring 239. During this innings, Voges broke the world record for the highest number of runs without a dismissal having previously scored 269* and 106* against the West Indies, for a total of 614, beating the previous record set by Sachin Tendulkar of 497.&amp;lt;ref name=bbc13feb16/&amp;gt; When he reached 172 not out his Test average passed 100,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.smh.com.au/sport/australia-v-new-zealand-test-series-adam-voges-bumps-average-beyond-100-passes-sir-donald-bradman-20160212-gmt6u9.html|title=Australia v New Zealand Test series: Adam Voges bumps average beyond 100, passes Sir Donald Bradman|date=13 February 2016 |first=Andrew |last=Wu}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; although when he was dismissed it dropped back to 97.46.  His performances over the 2015–16 season were statistically some of the best of all time, scoring 969 runs at an average of 161.50, with only Bradman (twice) recording more than 500 runs at a higher season average.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-australia-2015-16/content/story/975795.html|date=24 February 2016|title=Runs and records for Australia&amp;#039;s top five|first=Bharath |last=Seervi}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For his performances in 2016, he was named in the World Test XI by the ICC.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/the-full-list-of-icc-awards-2016-winners/story-HwiwPQa1CPLmYV6y7hx6vM.html The full list of ICC awards]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
