Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Mainly a right-arm off spinner, he toured India with the Australian under-19 team in September and October 2011, taking eight wickets from six matches in a quadrangular tournament involving the Australian, Indian, Sri Lankan, and West Indian under-19 teams. At the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, he was Australia's first-choice spinner, ahead of Victoria's Ashton Agar, (Agar was injured and did not play in the World Cup) and took eleven wickets from six matches, with his best figures 4/28 against Nepal.
Turner was one of the better players for the National Performance Squad in the 2014 winter series, posting scores of 73, 59 and 41. While in England, Turner was selected to make his first-class debut in July 2013 in a tour match for the Australians against Sussex, although he did not take a wicket from four overs on debut. As time has gone on, Turner has managed to become a reliable batting all-rounder for Western Australia and has shown his skills in the BBL as well.
Like quite a few other rookie players, Turner too got picked for the T20I series against Sri Lanka at home in early 2017 due to the resting of elite players for the India tour. He featured in all three games and while he couldn't get going with the bat, his bowling was fairly decent as he was able to put a lid on the scoring rate. A naturally attacking batsman, Turner is capable of being a Glenn Maxwell-kind of player albeit without the same unorthodox stuff but effective nevertheless. In addition to his hitting skills and tidy off spin, Turner is also an excellent fielder.
Relentless success in the domestic circuit and the BBL enabled Turner to force his way into the ODI squad in the 2018-19 season, eventually landing a debut in the ODI series in India. In just his second game, he produced a typical Turner finish to stun a quality Indian attack and help Australia chase down a mammoth target of 359. But that wasn't enough to seal a place in the World Cup squad as Australia had Warner and Smith coming back into the fold post the ban. The selectors went for Shaun Marsh and Marcus Stoinis for the middle-order duties. But with plenty of age on his side, Turner will definitely wear the Australian jersey more often than not.
IPL through the years
The 2019 season will be Ashton Turner’s first taste of the Indian Premier League. A strong T20 batsman who is hailed as a clinical finisher in Australia over the years, it’s his antics in the Big Bash League that shot him to the limelight. Turner’s signing by the Royals at the 2019 auctions was regarded as one of the smartest picks and in March 2019, his innings during the ODI series in India proved to the world why he is rated so highly. With many senior stars already in the RR squad, it’s difficult to see Turner starting straightaway but the Aussie should get his chances at some stage. His ability to hit the ball a country-mile, coupled with a good cricketing brain makes Turner an exciting prospect to have in any T20 side. He is also an excellent fielder and can bowl part time off spin. Incidentally, he first came as a bits-and-pieces all rounder who could bat and bowl a bit before shifting his focus mostly towards the willow. A definite value addition to the Royals roster.
Ashton Turner's IPL caravan didn't have anything to write home about though as he registered three consecutive ducks playing for Rajasthan Royals.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A tall and powerful right-hander, Ashton Turner clears the rope with deft placement, is a brilliant runner between the wickets, and has made a habit of chasing unlikely totals as a middle-order specialist in the BBL.
Turner made his first-class debut in elite company in 2013: he was in England playing club cricket and was called into Australia's XI in a tour match against Sussex. He enjoyed a breakout summer in 2016-17, which culminated in a call-up to Australia's T20I side to play against Sri Lanka in February 2017. Earlier in the season he had scored his maiden first-class century, against Tasmania, and followed that two matches later with another hundred against Queensland.
Turner announced himself on the world stage when he made 84 not out from 43 balls in his second ODI to help Australia chase 359 in Mohali against India in 2019. But despite these heroics, he did not play a single game on the following five-match ODI tour of the UAE and missed selection for the 2019 World Cup squad. Significant right-shoulder issues restricted his throwing ability in the field and he didn't bowl much since 2017, though he initially developed as an offspinning allrounder in first-class cricket.
Turner made over 350 runs at a strike rate of 154 in the 2021-22 BBL season, including 54 in the final, as Perth Scorchers clinched their fourth title.
