In December 2017, he was named as the vice captain of Australia's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[6] In March 2018, he won the Commonwealth Bank Future Star Award at Cricket Victoria awards ceremony.[7]
He made his Twenty20 debut for Melbourne Renegades in the 2018–19 Big Bash League season on 20 December 2018.[8] In 2023, Will Sutherland was named the captain of the Melbourne renegades, taking over captaincy from Nic Maddinson. In only his second game of the 2019–20 Marsh One-Day Cup, Sutherland was named Man of the Match, making his maiden List-A half century scoring 54 runs, and followed it up with bowling figures of 2/43, guiding his team to a 1 run victory.[9]
He made his first-class debut on 12 November 2019, for Victoria in the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season.[10] In February 2020, in the round eight match against Queensland, Sutherland took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, with 5/34.[11] A year later, Sutherland was named the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year at the 2021 Australian Cricket Awards.[12]
Sutherland was ruled out of stints with both Essex and Somerset due to injuries.[13] [14]
In January 2024, he was named in the Australian squad for the ODI series against West Indies.[15] He made his international debut in the second match, and took one catch with bowling figures of 2/28.[16]
