About Kyle Jamieson
Kyle Jamieson is a right-arm fast-medium bowler. He is also a good batsman who can score runs lower down the batting order. He stands at six feet eight inches tall. This makes him the tallest person to ever play international cricket for New Zealand.
He started his cricket journey as a batting all-rounder. But in 2012, he began to focus more on bowling. This change happened with help from bowling coach Dayle Hadlee.
Early Life and Other Sports
Kyle went to Auckland Grammar school in New Zealand. He was part of New Zealand's team for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup when he was younger.
Interestingly, when he was a kid, Kyle also played basketball. He was a point guard at the New Zealand Breakers academy. However, he chose cricket because he was very good at fast bowling.

Starting in Domestic Cricket
Kyle Jamieson made his first Twenty20 cricket appearance for the Canterbury team. This was on December 4, 2016, in a tournament called the 2016–17 Super Smash. In June 2018, he received a contract to play for Canterbury for the 2018–19 season.
On January 1, 2019, Kyle had an amazing game. He played for Auckland Aces against Canterbury Kings in the 2018–19 Super Smash. In that match, he took six wickets for only seven runs in four overs.
