Doug Bracewell is a right arm medium pacer who was born on 28 Sept 1990 at Tauranga.
Doug is the son of Brendon and nephew of John who both played for New Zealand.
He made his ODI and Test debuts against Zimbabwe in 2011 taking 5 wickets on his test debut at Bulawayo.
In Dec 2011, Bracewell took 6-40 to knock over the Australians for a famous win at Hobart and etch the family name further into New Zealand cricket folklore.
A long-serving player for Central Districts, Bracewell finished his overall first-class career with 137 matches, 4,505 runs and 422 wickets, including a career-best 7 for 35.
He retired from international cricket after his final Test against Sri Lanka in March 2023 and announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in December 2025, although he subsequently played three County Championship matches for Essex in 2025.
His career was interrupted at various stages by injuries and disciplinary issues, but he remained a significant figure in New Zealand’s pace-bowling ranks for more than a decade.
