About Tom Latham (C)

Read full biographyClose biography

Tom is the son of former New Zealand player Rod Latham. He is a wicket-keeper batsman, who made his First-Class debut for Canterbury, after being part of the New Zealand squad for the U-19 World Cup in 2010. Tom didn't make much of an impact in First-Class cricket, but a hundred in the Ford Trophy gained him a call up for the series against Zimbabwe. In a rain-curtailed match against Sri Lanka, where New Zealand had to chase down 203 in 23 overs, Latham combined well with Luke Ronchi to see his side through to a fine victory. He scored a well-measured 86 which got him the Man of the Match award. He was soon handed his first Test cap against India in 2014 when Ross Taylor was unavailable. Latham was dismissed for a duck in the first innings, but got a start in the second and scored 29. He travelled with the team to the West Indies and scored three successive fifties in the first two Test matches. Despite being less-aggressive in nature, Latham did produce the goods and had a good time in 2016-17 when he considerably improved his game in the 50-over format. However, he was later slotted to the middle order, mainly for the tour of India due to his ability to play spin. That coincided with the promotion of Munro as an opener and the latter's instant success at the top meant that Latham continued to cement his place in the middle-order, helping his team build crucial partnerships while at it. Much like Latham's batting, his glovework is also quite dependable and he has adapted to the role with ease despite not being a specialist by design. This ability of his means that New Zealand have more balance in their side. Latham, time and again, proved that he has great skill and composure to handle spin. While he's good at playing the sweep, Latham also loves using his feet to smother the threat from the spinners. His improved consistency with the bat, primarily in ODIs and Tests, helped him earn the vice-captaincy role and also continues to remain as one of the key members of the New Zealand batting line-up.
