Matthew Sean Mason (born 20 March 1974 in Claremont, Western Australia) is an Australian cricketer, although he holds an Irish passport and is thus not considered an overseas player at his current English county, Worcestershire. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler, who benefits from his 6-foot 6-inch (1.98 m) height, and a lower-order right-handed batsman.Mason started his career with Western Australia in 1996-97, and made his senior debut in a February List A win over Tasmania, taking the wicket of Michael di Venuto. Six days later he made his first appearance in first-class cricket in a drawn Sheffield Shield match against Queensland, but could manage only 1-72. He batted as a nightwatchman in his team's second innings, but made just 3 before being bowled by Michael Kasprowicz.
