5 reasons why Tim Southee can become a world-class all-rounder

#5 Plenty of time in hand to develop himself

The Kiwi fast bowler is still in his twenties

Despite having played international cricket for more than 8 years, Tim Southee is only 27 years old at the moment. The reason behind this is the fact that Southee was just 19 when he played his first international match, a T20I against England in February 2008.

This implies that he still has a lot of time in hand to establish himself as a world-class all-rounder in the years to come. With Tim Southee being New Zealand’s most consistent bowler in recent times after Trent Boult, there is every possibility that he will represent the team regularly, provided he does not get injured.

If he can work on his batting a little more, there is no reason that Southee cannot still develop into a fine all-rounder.
