CWC 2019: Ranking the wicket-keeper batsmen of the tournament

#6 Tom Latham

Tom Latham

The left-handed wicket-keeper batsman Tom Latham is at the sixth position in this list. After the World Cup 2015, the southpaw has amassed 1893 runs with an average of about 38 and strike-rate of more than 86. The 27-year-old batsman possesses good technique and has the capability to play spin well.

However, Latham's batting nature is less-aggressive and is best suited to play the anchor role. The Christchurch-born player has performed decently as a middle-order batsman for New Zealand. However, he is inconsistent in ODIs as compared to his performance the whites for New Zealand. Blackcaps will expect Latham to step up in the World Cup.
