A cricketer for New Zealand, Tom Latham plays professionally. He serves as the national team's representative in all forms and bats and keeps wickets with his left hand. In Canterbury, New Zealand, on April 2, 1992, Tom Latham, the son of former New Zealand footballer Rod Latham, was born.
Tom Latham is a graceful left-handed wicketkeeper batsman. He made his first team in 2010, and after putting in a lot of effort and grit, he was called up to play for England against Zimbabwe. Against Zimbabwe in February 2012, he played his first ODI.
In the same year, Latham played his first T20I against the West Indies. Latham struggled and was in and out of the New Zealand ODI selection for the following two years, but he recovered strongly with a string of noteworthy performances against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, earning him his first Test call-up against India in February 2014.
Latham's abilities won him a position on New Zealand's World Cup roster in April 2019, demonstrating his ability on the international stage. Furthermore, he got the honour of leading the New Zealand Test cricket team for the first time in January 2020, coming in for the injured Kane Williamson. Despite the fact that he has yet to sign an IPL deal, Latham's regular performances suggest that it is only a matter of time before one of the clubs signs him.
Tom Latham has a net worth of about INR 25 crores, which highlights his significance in the cricketing community. He makes about INR 1.5 crore each year, which highlights his importance even more. He also earns INR 50 lakhs from his Canterbury Kings Super Smash brand. In addition, he currently holds the prestigious position of Kookaburra Sports brand ambassador, further solidifying his position and influence within the cricketing world.
Tom Latham, the son of former New Zealand all-rounder Rod Latham, is a dynamic opening batsman whose early Test performances indicate he could hold down that difficult position for a while. In 2010, he was selected for the New Zealand Under-19 World Cup team, and later that year, he made his first-class debut for Canterbury.
Although he had trouble making an impact in first-class cricket, he was selected for New Zealand's limited-over team for their home series against Zimbabwe in 2012 thanks to his outstanding displays in the shorter formats, including a first-ever professional hundred in the Ford Trophy in January 2012.
Although Tom Latham's debut match was at No. 4 against India in Wellington, it was his return to beginning the innings in domestic cricket during the 2013 campaign that proved to be the most important. He was moved up to that position in the West Indies and reacted by scoring three consecutive half-centuries in the series.
Following a debut hundred against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi, he surpassed his father's total of Test hundreds. The following match, he doubled that total to become the first New Zealand opener in 24 years to register hundreds in back-to-back Tests.
