Jamie How

An opening batsman, How plays for Central Districts and captains them whenever Daniel Vettori is unavailable. A consistent domestic performer, he forced his way into the Black Caps side on the weight of his runs in the domestic circuit; 704, 682 and 592 in the three seasons from 2002-03.

He made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka and played a sublime innings of 58. He made his test debut against West Indies in 2006, and was selected for the tour to South Africa as a replacement for the injured Peter Fulton. Though he was sorted out by Dale Steyn during that series, he retained his national contract for the next season and made some solid ODI scores.
