#9 Daniel Vettori

Daniel Vettori

Daniel Vettori captained New Zealand between 2007 and 2011 and is one of the best bowlers the country ever produced. The bowling all-rounder was regarded for his accuracy with the ball. His flighted deliveries combined with his variations of speed helped Vettori gain a lot of success.

The spin wizard is New Zealand's leading ODI wicket-taker of all time and second (after Richard Hadlee) in their Test wickets tally. The 40-year-old has 362 wickets to his name in 113 Test matches at an economy rate of 2.59.

In 295 ODI matches, Vettori has made 305 scalps at an economy rate of 4.12. Furthermore, Vettori scored 4531 runs in Tests and 2253 runs in ODIs. He is only among the eight players to have managed the double of over 300 test wickets and 3000 runs.

The Auckland-born player also featured in 34 T20Is in which he clinched 38 wickets at an economy rate of 5.70.

Vettori retired from all forms of international cricket post the 2015 Cricket World Cup. He is considered one of the best leaders and a World-class player.

Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed him as their Spin bowling coach in July 2019.
