Roger Graham Twose/ˈtuːz/ (born 17 April 1968) is an English-born New Zealand formercricketer, who played 16Test matches and 87One Day Internationals forNew Zealand in the mid-1990s.[1][2] In February 2021, Twose was appointed as the director ofNew Zealand Cricket.[3] Twose was a member of the New Zealand team that won the2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy.
Twose was born inTorquay in England.[4] He was educated atKing's College, Taunton.
After playing forWarwickshire County Cricket Club, Twose moved to play forNorthern Districts in New Zealand in 1991–92. Later, he played for Wellington as well.[5][6] Twose performed well in New Zealand for several seasons, eventually being selected for a national cap on New Zealand's 1995 tour to India.[7]
In the 1998/1999 season, Twose returned to the New Zealand side and soon became recognised as one of the best one day batsmen in the world, known as "the switch-hitter".[8] Twose followed strong performances against India and South Africa by being New Zealand's most successful batsman at the1999 Cricket World Cup, scoring 318 runs at an average of 79.50.[9]
Following his retirement from Test cricket, Twose continued to perform consistently in the One Day International arena, rising to 2nd in the world batting rankings.[10] He reached his peak on New Zealand's 2000 tour of South Africa when he finally scored his first and only century after 75 matches.[10] His performances resulted in one of New Zealand cricket's cult mantras"We need sixes, fours and Twose to win". His blistering innings of 87 against Pakistan in the2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy semi final allowed New Zealand to defeat a strong looking Pakistan, and he also contributed to their win against India in the Final. New Zealand seized that year's Champion's Trophy to win their first major ICC Tournament.
