Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ross made his domestic debut in the One-Day cup in 2012. However, he shot to fame in early 2016, pertaining to his dream run in the 2015/16 Sheffield Shield season, only his second, where he scored 642 runs at an average of 35.66. He was bestowed with the coveted Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award during the Allan Border Medal night in January 2016, on account of his aforementioned Sheffield performance.
However, he is better known for his powerful stroke-play in the limited-overs formats, especially in T20 cricket. He got picked by the Adelaide Strikers for the Big Bash League based on his stellar performances in the 2014 Matador Cup and went on to play two seasons for the Strikers, scoring 247 runs at an unprecedented strike rate of 143.60. Ross immediately made a name for himself in the Big Bash League, particularly due his penchant for playing the sweep shot, to merit the nickname 'sweepologist' from Damien Fleming.
In February 2016, Ross signed a 3-year deal with the Brisbane Heat. He has received backing from the Brisbane Heat coach Daniel Vettori, and teammate Chris Lynn, who have expressed that Ross was a potential match-winner and that he was going to be an indispensable asset going into subsequent seasons of the Big Bash League. He started with an explosive 64 for the Heat against his former side, Adelaide Strikers, in the 2016/17 BBL season and he is going to be a key player for them in the upcoming 2017/18 edition.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A young batsman who enjoyed a breakout season in 2015-16, Alex Ross was rewarded with the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award at the Allan Border Medal night in January 2016. He had made his first-class debut the previous summer, having first appeared for South Australia in the domestic one-day competition in 2012, but in 2015-16 posted 642 Sheffield Shield runs at 35.66, including six fifties, and was second only to captain Travis Head on the Redbacks' run list. He also impressed in the BBL, where his proclivity for the sweep shot earned him the nickname "Sweepologist" from TV commentators. His liking for the shot had partially come from a childhood playing hockey in New Zealand. Born in Melbourne, Ross spent much of his childhood in Christchurch, where his father Ashley was a cricket coach - at one stage the assistant coach of New Zealand.
