Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Considering his impeccable domestic performances in white-ball cricket, it's a surprise to many that Laughlin failed to get going in the international circuit. It could be perhaps due to being nervous on the big stage or purely a lean patch that happens with anyone. The end result though was that Laughlin couldn't hit the ground running in Australian colors. In the domestic circuit however, he has been a reputed bowler in the shorter formats over the years. Blessed with the ability to bowl a ripping outswinger, Laughlin's other skill was the ability to vary his pace at will with absolute control. This made him tough to score off and batsmen often perished in the bid to up the ante against him.
In the era of T20 Leagues, Laughlin has been a selection across the globe, notably in the IPL and CPL apart from the BBL in Australia. He is the leading wicket-taker in the BBL till date and has been a core member of the Adelaide Strikers set up. In the IPL, he was a part of the CSK squad in the early seasons but never got a game. Later on, he joined Sunrisers Hyderabad but barely got to play. At the 2018 auctions, he got picked by the Rajasthan Royals franchise and one feels that this association could see him play a bigger role than he has so far in the IPL. The Victorian's skill set in white-ball cricket seems to be improving with time like wine and he is expected to be a vital cog of whichever limited-overs outfit that he features in.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Ben Laughlin started the 2008-09 season hoping for a few games with the Bulls and ended it with tours to South Africa and the United Arab Emirates with the Australian limited-overs team. A fast-medium bowler, Laughlin was promoted during the side's run of injuries to its quicks and appeared in five ODIs and a Twenty20. He neither starred nor failed, picking up some useful wickets while learning the difference between operating against state and international batsmen. However, he was not chosen for the World Twenty20 squad or given a national contract.
Strong performances on the state scene during his first year on a contract earned the elevation. In his debut FR Cup campaign he featured in all 11 games and collected 23 wickets, a haul highlighted by his 6 for 23 against New South Wales in Cairns, the third-best figures in Australian domestic one-dayers. There was also a vital return of 3 for 25 in the final success as Queensland came from behind to beat Victoria. In three Sheffield Shield games, including the drawn decider, he had less success. The 2009-10 season was difficult after he was struck down by a painful stomach injury that restricted him to six state games.
Laughlin, whose father Trevor played three Tests in the late 1970s, was called on in the final Pura Cup match of the 2007-08 season and earned the wicket of Cameron White in the loss to Victoria. In the previous three years Laughlin was outstanding in the Brisbane grade competition, collecting 126 breakthroughs, including 50 in 2006-07. Stress fractures hampered him earlier in his career, but he overcame the problem and performed strongly for the QAS. Laughlin, a carpenter, relies on an outswinger and changes of pace, attributes that worked well for his former mentor Adam Dale.
