Bryce Edward McGain (born 25 March 1972) is an Australian former cricketer who played a single Test match for the Australia national cricket team, as well as domestically for Victoria. McGain made his first-class debut in 2002 against New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground. However, due to other Victorian spinners—Shane Warne and Cameron White—he was unable to hold down a place in the side. He worked in the IT section of a bank and played Victorian Premier Cricket for Prahran Cricket Club before being called up to the Victorian side again.
McGain became a regular for Victoria in the 2007 season and took 38 wickets at 34.78. This led spin mentor Terry Jenner to suggest that McGain could be selected in the Australian Test team for the 2007–08 home series against India. Although this predicted selection did not happen, McGain was later selected for the 2008–09 four-Test tour of India after playing for Australia A in India in September 2008. During this tour, he played in a 2-day tour match against Rajasthan Cricket Association XI, but he did not get to bat or bowl. He had to return home due to a shoulder injury after having only played in this one tour match.
