Daniel Vettori
DOB: 27/01/1979
Playing Role: All-Rounder
Batting Style: Left-hand bat
Bowling Style: Slow left-arm orthodox

The former Black Caps skipper burst on to the international scene in 1997 when he made his debut against England and became New Zealand's youngest Test cricketer at just 18-years of age. 15 years on and he looks set to smash all kinds of New Zealand cricket records. Only he and the great Sir Richard Hadlee have completed the coveted 300-wickets-3000-run Test double and he is on track to one day overtake Hadlee's once world record tally of 431 wickets. Numbers aside, Vettori, who handed the captaincy to Ross Taylor after the 2011 one-day World Cup, is an inspirational player for the Black Caps. His sterling determination to fight along with his competent all-round skills makes him one of the standout cricketers of his generation.
