Latham

 Tom is the son of former New Zealand player Rod Latham. He is a wicket-keeper batsman who made his first-class debut for Canterbury after being part of the New Zealand squad for the U-19 World Cup in 2010. Tom, who didn't make much of an impact in first-class cricket, but a hundred in the Ford Trophy earned him a call up for the series against Zimbabwe. Tom Latham and Ross Taylor can stitch together crucial partnerships, and they've done that on numerous occasions in the past. If New Zealand's top order fails to get the team off to a good start, the experience of Taylor and the temperament of Latham can brave them out of trouble, as we've seen earlier. Latham's last ODI century came in 2017 against India, but since then the southpaw has played 25-odd matches and hasn't come even close to getting a three-digit score in the 50-over format. With ample opportunities ahead of him during the World Cup, Latham can manage to get a century or two, especially with the pitches expected to be excellent for batting.
