MICHAEL BRACEWELL

Michael Bracewell brings the full all-rounder package to the table, with a blend of clean ball striking and tactical off-spin. He has developed into one of New Zealand’s most lethal white-ball all-rounders, capable of clearing any boundary and breaking partnerships when his team needs it the most. Bracewell was born on 14 February 1991 in Masterton, New Zealand and comes from one of the country’s most famous cricketing families, with father Mark, uncles Brendon and John and cousin Doug all playing for New Zealand at the highest level.

Despite a prolific domestic career, Bracewell did not make his international debut until he was 31. He soon caught up, making his mark with a stunning unbeaten 127 against Ireland in just his sixth ODI before becoming a regular fixture in New Zealand’s white-ball sides.

The 35 year old has proved to be a real match-winner in T20 cricket. He made an instant impression on the international stage, claiming a hat-trick in just his second T20I appearance.

His all-round value has made him a highly sought-after player in franchise cricket. He combines clean ball-striking with wicket-taking off-spin skills and provides balance, power and versatility to any team.

Whether it’s hitting sixes into the stands or breaking crucial partnerships, Bracewell is a proven game-changer who can turn matches in a matter of overs.
