Currently a two-match test series is being played between New Zealand and South Africa. New Zealand won the first match of this fantastic test series by 281 runs. Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra played brilliant innings for New Zealand in the first test and played an important role in their team’s victory.

Not only this, the bowlers from New Zealand also did their job well. Talking about South Africa, the young players could not perform well in this match and that is why the team had to face defeat. Now the second Test between these two teams is starting from 13th February at Seddon Park in Hamilton. Both the teams would definitely like to win this test match.

However, before the second Test, New Zealand team captain Tim Southee has revealed that young fast bowler William O’Rourke can be seen playing in the second Test. The pitch in Hamilton helps fast bowlers a lot and that is why William O’Rourke may get a chance in the team.

William O’Rourke has a good chance: Tim Southee

According to ESPNcricinfo, Tim Southee said, ‘William O’Rourke has a good chance, he is in 13. Neil has been with our group for a long time and has done very well for us so far. This is a very big decision and we will try to give opportunities to young players also at the international level. William’s performance has always been very good in domestic cricket and he can be seen playing in the upcoming Test.

The best thing about William is that he is very tall in height and due to this, there is a lot of bounce in his bowling. He’s just like Jameson. Not only this, young players can also play an important role for our team through batting. William himself would definitely like to leave his mark at the international level.
