Profile

Tom Latham is a New Zealand cricketer, who represents the national New Zealand team in the international field since 2012. He firstly appeared in the shorter formats of the game and then made his test debut lately after a few years.

Tom Latham is son of former New Zealand cricketer Rod Latham and plays for the Canterbury squad at domestic level. He is a top-order batsman who keeps the wicket as well and serves the team as a vice-captain in test & ODI formats.

In first-class cricket, he made his first impact in Plunkett Shield while playing for Canterbury team in 2010. Then, he had played a glorious range of innings in domestic circuit, while played for Scotland, Kent, and Durham along with the Canterbury squad.

In 2012, he got his first international break with an ODI match against Zimbabwe. Unfortunately, Tom Latham couldn’t make his impact with his first appearance.

However, he continues the array of success since the second appearance in ODI progressively along with all the other formats of the game. Currently, he holds a few envious records in his portmanteau and enlisted for the 2019 World Cup squad as well.
