Kyle Jamieson's Profile

Kyle Jamieson is a cricket player from New Zealand who was born on December 30, 1994.  In February 2020, he played his first international match for the New Zealand cricket team against India. Prior to the 2020–21 season, he was given a central contract by New Zealand Cricket in May 2020. 

Jamieson was a vital part of the New Zealand squad that won the ICC World Test Championship in 2019–2021. He was named Player of the Match in the 2019-21 WTC Final after taking five wickets in the opening innings. Jamieson was a member of the New Zealand team for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.

Six feet eight inches tall, Jamieson is the tallest player to have ever played for New Zealand in international cricket. He is a vital allrounder for Kiwis who is a right-arm fast-medium bowler and a useful lower-order batsman. 

Under the guidance of bowling coach Dayle Hadlee, Richard Hadlee's brother, he gradually transitioned from being a batting all-rounder to a bowler in 2012. On December 4, 2016, he played his first Twenty20 match for Canterbury in the 2016–17 Super Smash. He was given a contract with Canterbury for the 2018–19 campaign in June 2018. 

In the 2018–19 Super Smash match between the Auckland Aces and Canterbury Kings on January 1, 2019, Jamieson grabbed six wickets for seven runs from his four overs – the third-best numbers ever and the best by a bowler in a T20 competition in New Zealand. With 22 dismissals in ten games, he was the 2018–19 Super Smash's top wicket-taker in that season.  

Jamieson took a hat-trick against Central Districts in October 2020 during the second round of the 2020–21 Plunket Shield season. Jamieson got his first national call when he was included in New Zealand’s T20I team for the series against the West Indies in November 2020. On November 27, 2020, he played his first Twenty20 International match for New Zealand against the West Indies. Jamieson made his ODI debut on February 08, 2020, and Test debut on February 21, 202,0 against India. 

Jamieson recorded his best bowling figure in the Test matches in January 2021, going 11 for 117 against Pakistan. In the 2021 IPL Kyle Jamieson was purchased by the Royal Challengers Bangalore thanks to his impressive performances in the 2020-21 season.
