5 great international cricketers who went on to become selectors

#4 Sir Richard Hadlee

Not a lot of people know that Sir Richard Hadlee was a selector for New Zealand.

Sir Richard Hadlee was probably the greatest all-rounder to have played for New Zealand. The way he carried the Blackcaps bowling attack for about 17-18 years was absolutely phenomenal.

He took 431 wickets in 86 Test matches at an average of 22.29. Not only with the ball, he also amassed 3124 runs in his Test career.

He was also the first player to complete the double of scoring 1000 runs and taking 100 wickets in ODI history.

Hadlee also had a stint as chairman of national selection panel in 2003-04. The likes of Brendon McCullum and Kyle Mills made their debuts during this phase.
