Daniel Vettori was the youngest man to play Test cricket for New Zealand at the age of 18, against England in 1997.

A traditional off-spinner with the ability to deceive in flight and bounce, Vettori has been the main weapon for the Kiwi team over the years. During the latter part of his career, he also contributed with the bat a lot.

Vettori captained New Zealand from 2007-2011. His best performance as a bowler came against Australia, when he picked up 12-149 in 2000.
