Player profile:
Somerville, William E R

Will Somerville is a tall off-spin bowler and useful lower-order batsman who represented New Zealand in Test cricket.

Born in Wellington but raised and developed as a cricketer in Australia, he played domestic cricket for New South Wales before returning to his native country to pursue international selection.

Making his Test debut for New Zealand at the age of 34 against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in 2018, Somerville impressed immediately with match figures of 7 for 127, helping secure a series win.

Known for his classical off-spin technique, steady control, and ability to extract bounce from helpful surfaces, he became a reliable option for New Zealand in subcontinental and spin-friendly conditions.
