Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Five years down the line, the middle order batsman had tasted ODI cricket. When he came out to bat in his fifth game, his average read 102. Bradmanesque indeed. But the baby faced assassin had another setback. Australia rejoiced on a October night in 2009 as they retained the Champions Trophy but Ferguson writhed in pain as another knee injury shut him out from cricket for the next year or so. His average was around 46 from 25 games.
He did come back but the international outings were limited and he did not make the cut for the 2011 World Cup, an event for which he was a certainty.
But not someone who believes in giving it up. The man from Adelaide decided to fight it out. South Australia reaped the benefits of a batsman who was determined to turn it around and win a place back in the Australian side. His run charts in the Sheffield Shield after having last played in colored clothing for the Aussies are like this:
2011-2012 - 486 runs from 8 games at 32.40.
2012-13 - 639 runs from 9 games at 39.93
2013-14 - 565 runs from 7 games at an average of 56.50
2014-15 - 836 runs from 10 games at an average of 52.25
2015-16 - 478 runs from 5 games at an average of 53.11
Having averaged over 50 in the last three seasons in Australia's premier competition, it was certain the selectors would take note of it and they did. Australia were trailing 0-1 against the touring South Africans and an SOS call was made to Callum Ferguson. He debuted in the second Test at Hobart and Australia were trounced by an innings and 80 runs. The South Australian managed 3 and 1. He was ignored for the next Test and his domestic season also fell down to unseen lows. He averaged 25.35 from 11 games having failed in his only chance at the top-level after almost 5 years.
In between he had a tryst with IPL as well. He played for Pune Warriors in 2011 and 2012 and needless to say had an unsuccessful end to it. At the BBL after being a lynchpin for Adelaide Strikers, he moved to Sydney Thunder for the 2017-18 season.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A classy batsman who was identified as an international candidate early in his career, Callum Ferguson had to wait until he was nearly 32 to be called into Australia's Test squad. He had been a semi-regular member of Australia's ODI side during 2009 but a serious knee injury suffered during the Champions Trophy final that year ruled Ferguson out of the entire 2009-10 home summer. Although a few more ODIs followed, he then drifted out of international cricket until called into Australia's squad for the Hobart Test against South Africa in 2016. Ferguson's talent was obvious early in his career - he made his first-class debut at 19 and that summer accumulated 736 Pura Cup runs - but not enough hundreds came over the next few seasons. It was only after he had tasted international cricket that his first-class numbers started to really improve, and in 2014-15 he managed 836 Shield runs including four centuries. His maiden first-class double-century came in November 2015 but another serious knee injury ruled him out of the second half of the summer.
