Matt Henry

His first ODI was a standout, with figures of 4-38 that sealed a series victory for New Zealand against India. Within a few months, Chennai had bought him at the 2014 Indian T20 League auction. He missed out on New Zealand's original 15-man group for the 2015 Cricket World Cup, but was brought in to replace Adam Milne for the semi-final against South Africa, and he was also involved in the final against Australia. From then on he has been a regular presence in the national squad across all formats.

White-ball cricket is where Henry has made his biggest mark, and he has developed into a dangerous option for New Zealand, even as injuries have interrupted his progress. He was at his best when New Zealand won the Chappell-Hadlee series on home soil in 2016, though Australian batters handled him roughly in the return series in Australia later that year. He has nonetheless delivered a number of influential spells in limited-overs matches.

What separates Henry from many New Zealand quicks, who rely more on swing, is his knack for extracting movement off the seam at a brisk pace. Injuries have forced him to take a little off his speed, yet he still hits the bat hard and can move the ball in either direction.
