CWC 2019: One World Cup debutant from each team who can make an impact

5. New Zealand- Tom Latham

Tom Latham, alongside Ross Taylor, will play a crucial role for New Zealand in the middle order.

Tom Latham has emerged as a pillar for the New Zealand cricket team. His presence in the middle order alongside Ross Taylor has been pivotal for New Zealand. Originally an opener, Tom Latham has adjusted according to the need of the team; as an opener, Latham has given his best performances. He is a good batsman of both pace and spin bowling. Possibly, Latham will bat at number 5 for New Zealand at the World Cup, a batting position that holds great importance in a line-up. The 27-year old left-handed batsman, who will play his first World Cup, is all capable to contribute big hands in New Zealand's run in the mega tournament.

In a time when leg-spin bowling has been creating problems for batsmen in the middle overs, availability of Ross Taylor and Tom Latham is surely a boost to New Zealand's chances in the multi-nation tournament.
