A last-minute disclosure of evidence has delayed court proceedings against a former Big Bash League and state-level cricketer accused of child sexual abuse.

Aaron William Summers is accused of penetrative sexual abuse of a child or young person and grooming with the intention of exposing a child or young person to indecent material.

The 29-year-old played one game for the Hobart Hurricanes in late 2017 and three one-day games for Tasmania, after making his debut in 2018.

The offences allegedly occurred in Hobart on January 16, 2018 — a time when Summers was part of the Hurricanes roster.

Summers appeared in Hobart Magistrates Court on Friday via phone from Perth.

His lawyer Caroline Graves said she had received an “11th-hour” disclosure which would take 3-4 weeks to look at closely.

The matter was adjourned to September 8 and Summers’ bail was continued.

He was extradited from the Northern Territory to Tasmania in April and is yet to enter a plea to the charges.

Magistrate Andrew McKee said the matter could be committed to the Supreme Court of Tasmania.

Summers, a fast bowler, became the first foreign player to play in Pakistan’s revamped domestic cricket competition in 2020.
