Youth career
editWinter started his career playing grade cricket for Glenelg, playing regularly at B-grade level by the 2013–14 season when he was sixteen years old. In January 2014 he represented South Australia in the national under-17 cricket championships and was named the player of the tournament, scoring a tournament-high 389 runs with a batting average of 77.80.[3] In the 2014–15 season he made his A-grade debut for Glenelg, but he suffered a fractured hip and torn hip flexor during the game. He returned to cricket two months later through B-grade before he was called up to play for South Australia in the under-19 national championships in January 2015 as one of the state's two co-captains.[4] He performed well in the tournament[5] and went on to play for Australia's national youth team.[6] He played three Youth One Day Internationals for Australia, all against Sri Lanka.[7]
Rise to domestic cricket
editAfter scoring 276 runs at an average of 55.20 in the Redbacks League, Winter scored a century in the first round of the grade cricket season in 2016–17 and became the first person nominated to win the premier grade's rising star award, the Jason Gillespie Medal.[8] He then made his debut for South Australia in the Futures League, scoring 144 runs against the ACT Comets, resulting in his inclusion in a South Australia XI against the touring South Africa national cricket team.[6] Against an international standard attack he teamed up with Tim Ludeman for a 159-run fourth-wicket partnership, scoring 63 runs himself.[9] He continued his strong start to the season with another grade cricket century[10]
Winter was selected for another tour match, this time for a Cricket Australia XI against the touring Pakistan national cricket team. On a slow wicket he top-scored for the Cricket Australia XI, leading a game-high partnership of 57 runs with Matthew Short.[11] At the end of the season his form was rewarded with both the Jason Gillespie Medal as South Australia's grade cricket Rising Star[12] and a rookie contract with South Australia for the 2017–18 season.[13]
