Profile Summary
Will Young played a major role in Central Districts winning the 2017-18 Plunket Shield. He was the second highest run-getter for his side and fourth overall, with 686 runs in 10 games. In fact, he has been the most consistent batsman for the Stags over a period of time.
A right-hand batsman, Young bats in the middle order generally at number four. He has a proper blend of defence and attack, which can be seen in his numbers in all three forms of the game. Young made his debut in 2012 as a 20-year-old and a couple of seasons later he had his breakthrough season, 909 runs at 53.
Since then there has never been a season where Young has not gone past 500 runs in a season. His least productive year since 2014 was in 2016-17 where he still managed to score 591 runs. Getting the captaincy of Central Districts brought the best out of him as he recorded his career-best score of 162 in the title winning 2017-18 season.
Young's impressive numbers in the domestic circuit earned him a call-up to the national squad, and he, subsequently, made his international debut (in Tests) against West Indies in December 2020. In a matter of three months, Young went onto make his ODI and T20I debut as well (both against Bangladesh). A watertight technique, and with a great head on his shoulders, plenty of pundits in New Zealand cricket hope for improved consistency from Young across formats.
