Early Life

Marcus Stoinis was born in Perth, Western Australia, and his first love is to play cricket. He grew up in a sporting family in the coastal suburb of North Beach, close to Scarborough beach. Although a schoolboy, Stoinis had an interest in more than just cricket, also Australian rules football; he decided to specialise in cricket. They fast-tracked his talent to senior level, and he played for Western Australia at both under-17 and under-19 levels. In 2008, selectors chose him for the Australian under-19 world cup team, in the same squad as future national teammates. He went on to play for Australia at the Hong Kong Sixes a year later, a precursor to the international career which was to follow.

Family Background

Marcus Stoinis was born and raised in a tightly-knit Greek-Australian family in Perth. His father, Chris Stoinis, a real estate entrepreneur of Greek ancestry, was a major influence in his approach to the game from an early age, encouraging him to pursue an active career in cricket, until he needed to seek a new challenge and took him across the interstate when he was still an adolescent. Chris died in November 2017 aged 60, after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – a huge loss to Marcus.

Marcus’ mother, Faye Stoinis, assumed control of the real estate firm after his father passed away, and has been a constant support to the family throughout Marcus’s career.

Marcus has one sibling, an older sister, Dr. Natasha (or Natasa) Stoinis. Natasha was actively involved in supporting their father during his illness and the siblings are close, spending time with each other when Marcus comes back to Perth with his mother.

Education Qualification

Marcus played at the well respected private school in Perth, Hale School, where he competed at school level in cricket and Australian Rules football. He never went to any college or university; after leaving school he played professional cricket without any respite.

Marcus Stoinis Career Highlights

Stoinis had his first game in List A cricket for Western Australia in the 2008-09 Ford Ranger Cup, and then his first game for the state in one-day and Sheffield Shield cricket against Queensland at the Gabba. Western Australia released him at 19, and he went to Victoria on his father’s recommendation, where his career prospered. It was a breakthrough 170 innings against Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield 2013-14 season that made him a top order threat and he ended up scoring the most runs for Victoria in 2014-15.

It was that form that got Stoinis his international debut for Australia in August 2015, against England in both ODI and T20I formats. His second ODI debut in January 2017 against New Zealand was one of his career highlights and was the first time that he had scored a century on top of three wickets, having taken the wicket of the first Australian in the same innings.

Over the next few years, Stoinis was to be an integral part of Australia’s winning campaigns in the 2021 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup. In early 2025, he stepped down from ODI cricket to extend his playing career by concentrating on T20 cricket in his national team, and in global T20 teams, most notably The Hundred, BBL and IPL.

IPL Career

Stoinis has been part of the IPL family since his debut in 2016 when he made his entrance with Kings XI Punjab. He has appeared for various franchises over the years, including Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants with whom he co-owned the franchise from 2022 to 2025. He won the IPL final in 2020 with Delhi Capitals and in 2024, he scored his first IPL century, an explosive 124* off 63 balls in the match against Chennai Super Kings. Loved for his big hitters and handy medium pace, Punjab Kings decided to keep him on for ₹11 crore in the mega auction before 2025 and he will continue to represent them in 2026.
