Early life and background

Thomas William Maxwell Latham was born on 2 April 1992 in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand. The son of former New Zealand all-rounder Rod Latham and his wife Sally, Tom grew up in a cricketing household and developed into a promising junior player. He is commonly known by the nickname Tommy.

Latham’s physical profile lists him at approximately 170 cm (5'7") with light green eyes and brown hair. Outside cricket he enjoys playing golf and practices Christianity.

Career

Latham made his international debut for New Zealand as a teenager and has since featured across all three formats. He played his first One Day International on 3 February 2012 against Zimbabwe in Dunedin, made his Twenty20 debut on 30 June 2012 versus the West Indies in Florida, and earned his Test cap on 14 February 2014 against India in Wellington.

A flexible batsman who has been used anywhere from number one to number nine in the order since his international debut at 19, Latham has also served as wicket-keeper. He has represented New Zealand domestically and abroad, turning out for teams including Canterbury, Canterbury Second XI, Canterbury Under-19s, Durham 2nd XI and Scotland. He has worn jersey number 48 for New Zealand.

Notable moments in Latham’s career include a Man of the Match performance against Sri Lanka in 2013 when he scored 86 in a rain-shortened chase, a prolific run-scoring series against the West Indies in June 2014 when he accumulated 288 runs including three half-centuries, and a match-winning unbeaten 103 in October 2017 when he shared a 200-run partnership with Ross Taylor to chase down India’s target.

He achieved further milestones in later years: in the 2015–16 Trans-Tasman Trophy he became the first cricketer to register a half-century in a day–night Test, and in October 2016 he became the first New Zealander (and the tenth overall) to carry his bat through an innings when he remained not out as his team were dismissed for 190 against India. In May 2017 he was recalled to the national side and named captain for a tri-series that included Ireland and Bangladesh while several regulars were involved in the IPL.
