Luke Woodcock
DOB: 19/03/1982
Playing role: All-rounder
Batting style: Left-hand bat
Bowling style: Left-arm off-spin

Sheer weight of runs forced the selectors' hand into elevating the stocky all-rounder to the international arena; oddly though, he seems to have been earmarked as bowler who bats a bit. Woodcock topped the State Shield batting charts in 2010 with a remarkable 988 runs, and though his ODI and T20 appearances have thus far been limited, a highlight was claiming the final wicket in the Black Caps' memorable World Cup quarter-final win over South Africa. A powerful middle-order batsman and a tidy left-arm tweaker, Woodcock will compete with Nathan McCullum for the role of Dan Vettori's spinning deputy.
