About

Player story

A promising all-rounder from New Zealand, Jimmy Neesham is one of those utility players who have made his presence felt in the international circuit with his all-round performances. Rising into prominence as a skilful all-rounder in the 2010 U-19 World Cup, Neesham started taking rapid strides at the international level. Starting his professional career as a domestic cricketer for Auckland, Neesham moved to Otago and was an instant success there. He made a sensational impact with both bat and the ball in the 50-over format for the 2011-12 season. He had a decent run with the bat and also picked up career-best figures of 5-44 against Wellington. He was the star performer for the Otago Volts in the 2013 Champions League and was instrumental in leading them to several victories in the group stages of the tournament. Over the years, and ever since making his international debut, Neesham has been an impact player for the Kiwis and has impressed all and sundry with his all-round attributes. Jimmy Neesham T20I Career Jimmy Neesham made his T20I debut for New Zealand against South Africa at Durban on December 21, 2012. His start in the shortest format was relatively quiet, but he gradually evolved into a valuable middle-order all-rounder known for his power-hitting and handy medium-pace bowling. Over the years, Neesham became a regular contributor in crunch situations, especially with the bat during the death overs. His ability to clear the ropes and chip in with key wickets made him a utility option for the Kiwis. He was a member of New Zealand’s squad that finished as runners-up in the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, further cementing his role in the format. A major milestone in his T20I career came on March 26, 2025, when Neesham picked up his maiden five-wicket haul in T20 Internationals against Pakistan. He registered impressive figures of 5/22 from four overs, becoming only the second New Zealand bowler to take a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in T20Is. In
