Chris Nevin played for New Zealand during the early 2000s but not many people are familiar with the fact that he was a part of New Zealand’s ICC Knockout winning squad of 2000. He had made his ODI debut for the Kiwis in March that year and scored a career-best 74 against Australia at Auckland in only his second ODI.

Nevin was selected in the squad for the 2000 ICC Knockout as a backup wicket-keeper to Adam Parore. Nevin spent the entire tournament in the dressing room as Parore was used in every match of the tournament which New Zealand won by defeating India in the final at Nairobi.
