Tom Latham is New Zealand's left-handed wicketkeeper-batter. He has accumulated 11,615 runs across 280 ODI appearances, establishing himself as a cornerstone of the national middle order.
A left-hander with the gloves, Latham combines wicketkeeping duties with consistent batting contributions in the 50-over format. His right-arm fast-medium bowling offers occasional support, though his primary value lies in his work behind the stumps and at the crease.
Latham has been a fixture in New Zealand's ODI setup for over a decade, navigating the demands of international cricket across multiple formats. His longevity in the team reflects both his technical reliability and adaptability to changing match situations. The volume of runs he has scored underscores his importance to New Zealand's batting structure, whether batting in the middle order or lower down depending on the match context.
His dual role as keeper-batter places him among the more demanding positions in international cricket, requiring the fitness and concentration needed for both responsibilities across a full ODI innings.
