Tim Southee is a New Zealand international cricketer who has made a mark for his country in all 3 formats of the game, with his nippy outswing bowling and more than handy contributions lower down the order with a bat in hand. He made his international debut at the age of just 19, in February 2008, after making heads turn with a Player-of-the-Tournament performance at the 2008 Under-19 World Cup. Tim’s crowning performance came at the 2011 ODI World Cup where he was the 3rd highest wicket-taker, picking up 18 wickets in unhelpful conditions, and helped New Zealand reach the semi-final. He was also a member of New Zealand’s World Cup squads that finished runners-up in both 2015 and 2019.

- He excelled at both cricket and rugby during his school days and played representative rugby for Auckland Secondary School as well as New Zealand’s Northern Region team.
- At the end of the 2007–08 domestic season, New Zealand’s first-class cricketers voted Tim as the country’s ‘Most Promising Cricketer’.
- He made his Test Match debut aged only 19 years and 102 days and made it an occasion to remember with splendid performances with both bat and ball. He took a 5-wicket haul and then reeled off a score of 77 not out from just 40 balls. It was New Zealand’s fastest Test match half-century at that time, coming in just 29 balls. His innings also included 9 sixes and at that time only 4 cricketers had hit more sixes in an innings in the history of Test Cricket.
- In a December 2010 match against Pakistan, he became only the 3rd player and 2nd New Zealander, to take a T20I hat-trick. His spell of 5/18 was also honored by the ICC (International Cricket Council) with the ‘Twenty20 International Performance of the Year’ award.
- During a Friends Life T20 match for the English county team Essex in 2011, Tim recorded figures of 6/16, including a hat-trick. Those were the best figures at that time in the history of Essex in the T20 format.
- He was named ‘T20 Player of the Year’ by New Zealand Cricket (NZC) for the 2010-11 season. He was also named in the ‘World Test XI’ by ICC in 2014.
- Tim’s sensational 7-wicket haul in a round-robin league game against England at the 2015 ICC World Cup, was named as Wisden’s ‘ODI Spell of the Decade’.
- In a rare turn of events, Tim found himself bowling 2 super overs (tie-breakers in T20 games) in the super 8 stages of the World T20 in 2012 – against hosts Sri Lanka and eventual champions West Indies. Unfortunately, New Zealand lost both games and crashed out of the tournament.
- In August 2026, Tim became the highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket history with 141 wickets.
- In September 2026, Tim dislocated and fractured his right thumb while attempting to take a catch during a match.
- In January 2026, Tim became the first bowler to take 150 wickets in T20I cricket history. He achieved this feat after taking 4 wickets during a match against Pakistan.
