Kyle's Early Life and Sports
Kyle Jamieson went to Auckland Grammar school. When he was younger, he was part of New Zealand's team for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. This was a big tournament for young cricket players.
Besides cricket, Kyle was also good at basketball. He even played as a point guard at the New Zealand Breakers academy. But in the end, he chose cricket. He was a very good fast bowler, which helped him make that choice.
Kyle's Cricket Journey
Kyle is known for being a right-arm fast-medium bowler. He is also a useful batsman who can score runs lower down the batting order. He is very tall, standing at six feet eight inches. This makes him the tallest person to ever play international cricket for New Zealand.
Starting as a Bowler
Kyle first started as a batting all-rounder. This means he was good at both batting and bowling. But in 2012, he began to focus more on bowling. He learned a lot from his bowling coach, Dayle Hadlee. Dayle is the brother of the famous cricketer Richard Hadlee.
Kyle made his first Twenty20 match appearance on December 4, 2016. He played for the Canterbury team in the 2016–17 Super Smash tournament. In June 2018, he signed a contract to play for Canterbury for the 2018–19 season.
Amazing Bowling Records
On January 1, 2019, Kyle had an incredible game. He was playing for the Auckland Aces against the Canterbury Kings. In this 2018–19 Super Smash match, he took six wickets for only seven runs. This was the best bowling performance ever in a T20 match in New Zealand. It was also the third-best performance in T20 history worldwide! He ended up being the top wicket-taker in that Super Smash season. He got 22 wickets in ten matches.
International Debut and Success
In December 2019, Kyle joined New Zealand's Test team. This was for their series against Australia. He didn't play in that series, but his chance came soon.
In January 2020, he was chosen for New Zealand's One Day International (ODI) team. This was for their series against India. He played his first ODI match against India on February 8, 2020. He was even named the player of the match!
Kyle made his Test debut for New Zealand on February 21, 2020, also against India. In his very next Test match, he achieved his first five-wicket haul. This means he took five wickets in one innings.
In October 2020, Kyle showed his skills again. He took a hat-trick against Central Districts. A hat-trick is when a bowler takes three wickets in three balls. In November 2020, he was selected for New Zealand's Twenty20 International (T20I) team. He played his first T20I match against the West Indies on November 27, 2020.
More Achievements and Awards
In January 2021, Kyle had his best bowling figures in a Test match. He took 11 wickets for 117 runs in the second Test against Pakistan. In February 2021, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team bought Kyle. This was for the 2021 Indian Premier League, a very popular cricket league.
In June 2021, Kyle also played for Surrey County Cricket Club in England. This was after the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final. In that final, Kyle was named the man of the match. He took seven wickets, including another five-wicket haul in the first innings.
In August 2021, Kyle was part of New Zealand's team for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. In January 2022, he received a special award. He was named in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year for 2021. This shows he was one of the best Test players in the world that year.
