Kane Williamson

New Zealand captain and currently considered one of the world's best batsmen, Kane Williamson's orthodox off-spin bowling has often provided an extra edge to the team's bowling attack.

Williamson has a classic bowling action and is often able to extract turn, while his accuracy as a bowler helps him in keeping the loose balls to a bare minimum. On helpful pitches, Williamson has proven to be a difficult bowler to negotiate on a number of occasions and a strike rate of 38.4 in ODIs is a testimony to his effectiveness as a part-timer.

He has taken 29 wickets in Tests and 33 in ODIs, with averages of 38.93 and 35.6 respectively. His numbers are great and in fact, one can speculate whether he can turn into a full-time off-spinner for New Zealand or not like Moeen Ali has for England.
