Tom Latham Profile

Tom Latham, the son of former New Zealand cricketer Rod Latham, has carved a niche for himself in international cricket. Making his First-Class debut for Canterbury, Latham quickly rose through the ranks and earned his Test cap against India in 2014. Known for his old-school Test opening style, he grinds out the new ball, setting the stage for the middle order. In ODIs, he initially opened the innings but later found a middle-order slot, especially excelling against spin in subcontinental conditions. His wicket-keeping skills add balance to the New Zealand side, making him a versatile asset. Latham’s partnerships with Ross Taylor have often been match-saving, showcasing his temperament and skill. Despite a century drought in recent ODIs, his ability to adapt and perform under pressure makes him a key player for New Zealand. With the World Cup on the horizon, Latham is expected to play a pivotal role.
