==Domestic and T20 franchise career==<br />
[[File:Matthew Wade batting.jpg|thumb|left|Wade batting for Victoria in 2011.]]<br />
Wade played one [[List A cricket|List A]] match for the [[Tasmania cricket team|Tasmania Tigers]] in the [[2006–07 Ford Ranger One Day Cup season]], his only match for Tasmania in any form of the game in his first spell with the state team. His opportunities to be selected as a [[wicketkeeper]] in his home state were minimal{{Clarify|reason=vague|date=February 2015}} due to the presence of [[Tim Paine]], who at the time was seen as the likely successor to [[Brad Haddin]] as wicketkeeper in the [[Australian national cricket team|Australian national team]]. Rather than attempt to become a specialist batsman, Wade moved to [[Victoria cricket team|Victoria]] in the [[2007–08 Australian cricket season|2007/08 season]], and within two years had established himself as the state's first choice wicketkeeper ahead of incumbent [[Adam Crosthwaite]].<ref name="ODIwk">{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/driving-ambition-20120224-1tu3b.html|title=Driving ambition|date=25 February 2012|access-date=3 November 2012|first=Chloe|last=Saltau|newspaper=The Age}}</ref><br />
<br />
Wade scored his maiden first-class century in the [[2008–09 Australian cricket season|2008/09 season]]. He made an important contribution to Victoria's win in the [[2009–10 Sheffield Shield season#Final|2009/10 Sheffield Shield final]] against [[Queensland cricket team|Queensland]], when he came out to bat with the team at 5/60 and scored 96 runs. Victoria won the match by 457 runs and Wade was named man of the match.<ref>{{cite web|title=ESPNcricinfo|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ausdomestic-09/engine/match/417669.html|access-date=5 February 2012}}</ref> He was suspended and fined for pitch tampering in 2013<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/matthew-wade-banned-for-pitch-tampering-20131117-2xolj.html Matthew Wade banned for pitch tampering], ''[[Sydney Morning Herald]]'', 17 November 2013. Retrieved 31 January 2019.</ref> and in February 2015, scored 152 for Victoria in the [[Sheffield Shield]], his highest first-class score to date.<br />

In January 2011, Wade signed with the [[Delhi Daredevils]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Sify Sports|website=[[Sify]] |url=http://www.sify.com/sports/updates-ipl-4-auction-2011-news-cricket-lbhqkEjfjfd.html|access-date=5 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190422210840/http://www.sify.com/sports/updates-ipl-4-auction-2011-news-cricket-lbhqkEjfjfd.html|archive-date=22 April 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> going on to play three times for Delhi in the [[2011 Indian Premier League]].<br />
<br />
Before the [[2017–18 Sheffield Shield season|2017/18 season]], Wade chose to return to his home state of Tasmania for family reasons.<ref>[[Brydon Coverdale|Coverdale B]] (2017) [http://www.espn.com.au/cricket/story/_/id/18548997/victoria-captain-matthew-wade-eyes-return-tasmania Matthew Wade eyes a return to Tasmania], ESPNcricinfo, 25 January 2017.

The move also saw Wade traded from the [[Melbourne Renegades]] to the [[Hobart Hurricanes]] in [[Big Bash League|the Big Bash]]. He went on to be named in the [[Sheffield Shield]] team of the year in March 2018.<ref name="SS2018">{{cite web |url=https://www.cricket.com.au/news/sheffield-shield-team-year-season-17-18-burns-renshaw-bird-tremain-ferguson-doran-labuschagne-wade/2018-03-18 |title=Our Sheffield Shield team of the year |access-date=18 March 2018 |work=Cricket Australia}}</ref><br />
<br />
Mid-way through the [[2018–19 Sheffield Shield season|2018/19 season]], Wade was appointed captain of Tasmanian team and the Hurricanes after a decision by Cricket Tasmania to remove [[George Bailey (cricketer, born 1982)|George Bailey]] to focus on his batting performance.<ref>D'Anello L (2018) [https://www.cricket.com.au/news/george-bailey-matthew-wade-tasmania-sheffield-shield-captaincy-runs-webster-mcdermott/2018-11-23 Wade takes over Tasmania captaincy], [[Cricket Australia]], 23 November 2018.

==International career==<br />
[[File:Ian Bell batting 2013 (1) (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|250px|Wade wicketkeeping for Australia in 2013 ODI]]<br />
Following his success in domestic limited overs cricket, Wade was called up to the [[Australian national cricket team|Australian team]] for the first time in October 2011, for a [[Twenty20 International]] against South Africa. In February 2012, he made his international breakthrough as a T20I player against India in Sydney, opening the batting and scoring 72 runs from 43 balls to earn the [[Man of the Match]] award.<br />
<br />
Following that T20I series, Wade was called up to the Australian [[One Day International]] team for the [[2011–12 Commonwealth Bank Series]]. He won the Man of the Match award on debut, scoring 67 runs off 69 balls against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/commonwealth-bank-series-2012/engine/match/518962.html |title=7th Match: Australia v India at Brisbane, Feb 19, 2012.

<br />
Wade was part of the Australian team for the [[Australian cricket team in the West Indies in 2011–12|2011–12 tour of the West Indies]] as the limited overs wicketkeeper. However, after Test wicketkeeper Brad Haddin returned home before the Test matches because his daughter was ill, Wade was selected to replace him. He made his Test debut on 7 April against the West Indies at Barbados, and scored his maiden Test century (106) in the third Test in Roseau.<ref>{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Wayne|title=Matt wades in with century to keep hopes alive|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/cricket/matt-wades-in-with-century-to-keep-hopes-alive/story-e6frg7rx-1226338250202|access-date=26 April 2012|newspaper=The Australian|date=26 April 2012}}</ref> Wade was then selected ahead of Haddin for Australia's following Test series against [[South African cricket team in Australia in 2012–13|South Africa in November 2012]],<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/brad-haddin-makes-way-for-matthew-wade-in-test-team/story-e6frg7mf-1226505275882|title=Brad Haddin makes way for Matthew Wade in Test team|date=29 October 2012|access-date=3 November 2012|first=Andrew|last=Faulkner|newspaper=The Australian}}</ref> and held his place until the end of the 2012–13 season, encompassing a home series against [[Sri Lankan cricket team in Australia in 2012-13|Sri Lanka]], and a [[Australian cricket team in India in 2012-13|tour of India]]. He scored his second Test century in the third Test against Sri Lanka in Sydney.<br />
<br />
However, from the [[2013 Ashes series]], Wade lost his Test position to Brad Haddin. He retained his position as ODI wicketkeeper for a period of time, but was ultimately left out of the Australian [[2015 Cricket World Cup]] squad for Haddin. However, after the retirement of [[Brad Haddin]] at the end of 2014–15, Wade was recalled to the team for the ODI, and T20I series [[Australian cricket team in England and Ireland in 2015|against England in 2015]];<ref>{{cite web |title=1st Match: Australia v England at Southampton, Sep 3, 2015; Cricket Scorecard |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-england-and-ireland-2015-743911/england-vs-australia-1st-odi-743977/match-report |access-date=2013-09-09 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> but, lost the Test wicketkeeping position to [[Peter Nevill]]. It was not until November 2016, three and a half years after his previous Test match, that Wade returned to the Test team, recalled ahead of a struggling Nevill, for the third Test [[South African cricket team in Australia in 2016-17|against South Africa]], and the subsequent home series against [[Pakistani cricket team in Australia in 2016-17|Pakistan]].<ref name="changes">{{Cite news |title=Renshaw, Maddinson, Handscomb to make Test debuts |work=ESPNcricinfo |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/matt-renshaw-nic-maddinson-peter-handscomb-to-make-test-debuts-peter-nevill-dropped-1067365 |access-date=20 November 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 13 January 2017, in the first ODI [[Pakistani cricket team in Australia in 2016-17#ODI Series|against Pakistan]] of a 5-match series, Wade scored his maiden ODI century, which came from 100 balls. He reached 100 on the final ball of Australia's innings, and his effort came when Australia was in trouble at 5 for 78 early in the innings. On the second last ball he got 2 runs off of a ball hit to the infield due to a misfield, which allowed him to retain the strike to complete the hundred. Wade was given out [[Leg before wicket|LBW]] earlier in his innings, but the decision was overturned after he asked for a review.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-pakistan-2016-17/engine/match/1000887.html |title= Pakistan tour of Australia, 1st ODI: Australia v Pakistan at Brisbane, Jan 13, 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=13 January 2017}}</ref><br />
