Will Young Profile

Will Young, a right-hand middle-order batsman, has been a cornerstone for Central Districts, particularly in their 2017/18 Plunket Shield victory. With 686 runs in 10 games, he was the team’s second-highest run-scorer. Young’s batting style is a balanced mix of defense and attack, evident in his impressive stats across all formats. Making his debut in 2012 at the age of 20, he had a breakthrough season two years later, amassing 909 runs at an average of 53. Since 2014, he has consistently scored over 500 runs each season. His captaincy for Central Districts further elevated his game, culminating in a career-best score of 162. His List A and T20 stats are equally remarkable, boasting five centuries in 50-over cricket and a T20 strike rate above 130. With such credentials, a national team call-up seems imminent.
