Southee was adjudged Player of the Tournament in 2008

With an inherent ability to vary his pace line-length and subsequently bowling vicious outswingers with aplomb, Tim Southee has truly established his credentials as one of the World's leading fast-bowler.

Southee shot into prominence with his exploits in Youth-Cricket where he featured in 2006 and 2008 U-19 World Cup (Player of the Tournament). Southee was fast-tracked into the National team in 2008 and has since been a constant in all of New Zealand's achievement since the 2000s.

Semifinal finish in the 2011 World Cup which included a stunning win over South Africa, had Southee finish with 18 wickets at an average of 17.33., but his finest hour in International Cricket truly arrived in New Zealand's rare Test win (2012-13 season) in Sri Lanka, where the swing bowler took an excellent eight-wicket match haul.

The pivotal member of New Zealand's 2015 runners-up squad, Southee has scalped 458 wickets in 243 matches across formats, and along with his ally Trent Boult, who was also one of the stars to come out of the U-19 World Cup 2008, boast of the one of the most lethal fast-bowling pair in contemporary cricket.
