Daniel Luca Vettori ONZM (born January 27, 1979 in Auckland , New Zealand ) is a former New Zealand cricketer and captain of the New Zealand national team . As an all-rounder with a focus on left-arm orthodox spin , he was the eighth player to ever score 300 wickets and 3000 runs in test cricket and the youngest player to ever test for New Zealand. After ending his active career after the 2015 Cricket World Cup , he worked as a spin bowling coach .

childhood and education

Vettori was born in Auckland to Italian immigrants, Renzo and Robyn Vettori. He grew up in Hamilton . For his school, the St Paul's Collegiate , he completed his first assignment in the school team at the age of 14. He has been wearing glasses that have become his trademark since he was three years old.

Active career

Early career

After he was noticed at a national level in an under-18 tournament, he completed an under-19 tour to England with New Zealand as a 16-year-old. Shortly thereafter, he was selected for the Northern Districts . He played his first first-class game for the Northern Districts at the age of 17 on the Tour of England in New Zealand in 1996/97 in a tour match against England . In this he scored Nasser Hussain's wicket . Only three weeks later, at the age of 18 years and 10 days, he was the youngest New Zealander ever to complete his first assignment for the New Zealand national test team. Again he managed to get the wicket from Hussain. Due to his good performance, he was able to quickly establish himself in the team. In addition to the tests, he also completed his first one-day international on the following tour against Sri Lanka . On this tour, in the second test with 9 wickets for 130 runs, he managed to lead the team to the first test series victory since 1992. In the autumn of that year in Zimbabwe , he managed to set a warning sign as a batsman with 90 runs when he and Chris Harris saved the team from possible defeat.

In the summer of 1999 he was nominated for the New Zealand squad at the 1999 Cricket World Cup , but was not used. On the following tour in England he managed a fifty with 54 runs in the second test in Lord's. In the fourth test, with 51 runs, he played a decisive role in the fact that this could be won for New Zealand and thus the 2–1 series win was achieved. The following winter he scored his 100th test wicket on the tour against Australia in the first test in Auckland and he was the youngest to do so at the time. In the game he scored a total of 12 wickets with 5/62 and 7/87. During the tour he suffered a stress fracture in his back and had to cancel a tour in Zimbabwe in September 2000 . As a result of the overload and the resulting injury, he was suspended for several months.

Rise to the captain

At the Tour in Australia 2001/02 he got six wickets (6/87) in the first innings of the third test, but this crucial test of the series could not be won despite his performance. The following year was only moderate for Vettori. He took part in the 2003 Cricket World Cup , but couldn't leave a lasting impression there when New Zealand was eliminated in the Super 6 round. Apart from that, he scored runs and wickets, but could not find consistency. This only changed again for the 2003/04 season . In India he got a fifty with 60 runs and a 48 not out in both tests. In the following test against Pakistan he managed the first test century of his career with 137 not out. This achievement caused a turning point in his career. While he averaged 18.06 before that game, it has been more than twice that number since then. On the subsequent tour in South Africa , too , he managed 53 runs in the first test before falling into a form crisis over the summer. The release took place on the tour in Bangladesh that took place the following autumn , when he achieved a total of 20 wickets in two tests. At State Shield 2004/05 he played for the Northern Districts in the domestic championship. There he won two Centuries and the team won the State Shield. In the summer he achieved another test century with 127 runs in Zimbabwe . He was also nominated for the world selection that played against Australia in October 2005 and played all games there. In the 2006 season he should play for Warwickshire in the County Championship , but he suffered a stress fracture in his back after a game. So he played again at the ICC Champions Trophy 2006 in October of that year and a tour in Sri Lanka in which he scored two test fifties.

The captain

At the Cricket World Cup 2007 he was able to reach the semifinals with the New Zealand team, but it indicated that the previous captain of the New Zealand team, Stephen Fleming , would give up his role. In August, Vettori initially took over the limited overs captaincy and led the national team to the semi-finals of the ICC World Twenty20, which was held for the first time in 2007 . For the subsequent tour in South Africa , he also took on the role of test captain and lost all series there. During the tour against Bangladesh in 2007/08 he managed to score 5 wickets in an ODI for the only time. On the following tour against England he was able to achieve 88 runs in the first test and thus shape it in favor of New Zealand. However, the other tests were lost. At the end of the 2008/09 season he succeeded in the first test of the tour against India in Hamilton with 118 runs a Century. He succeeded in a special test in August 2009. Not only did he score his 300th wicket in the second test of the tour in Sri Lanka , making him the eighth player to have achieved 300 wickets and 3000 runs. He also scored 140 runs in the second innings, the fastest innings that a New Zealander had ever scored. On the subsequent tour against Pakistan , he managed 99 runs in the first test and 134 runs in the third test. The year 2010 was rather a weaker one in terms of performance and the team focused more and more on the shorter formats of the game. He managed a final test century at the beginning of 2011, again against Pakistan . During that tour, he announced that he would be leaving the captaincy after the 2011 Cricket World Cup . At the World Cup, he injured his knee in the preliminary game against Pakistan and so he had to suspend the last two games of the preliminary round. After winning the quarter-finals against South Africa , he and the team lost in the semi-finals against Sri Lanka .

At the end of an active career

After reducing his commitments in the national team, he focused on Twenty20 leagues. He played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and for the Brisbane Heat in the Australian Big Bash League . For the national team, he announced in June 2011 that he would only be available for tests. In November 2011 he managed another 96 runs on the tour against Australia , but he could no longer build on his previous performances in his remaining test games. The following summer, he announced his retirement for the shorter formats internationally and his availability for the ICC World Twenty20 2012 . Apart from that, he made headlines mainly by canceling tours, as his injuries, especially the Achilles tendon , did not allow him to take them. However, after he had surgery on the Achilles tendon, he was only supposed to play one test on the tour against Pakistan in 2014/15 when New Zealand needed a third spin nowler. His last major appearance on the international stage took place at the Cricket World Cup 2015 . He was able to qualify with the team for the first time for the final, where they lost to Australia . As a result, at the age of 36, as a New Zealander with the most test and ODI games, he announced his retirement from international cricket.

After the active career

Vettori then established himself as a coach. For the 2015/16 season he was coach of the Brisbane Heat, which complemented his commitment that he had been with the Royal Challengers Bangalore since 2014. For the 2017 season he became Middlesex's Twenty20 coach . He also became the coach of the Bangladeshi franchise Rajshahi Kings from 2018 . In August 2018 he parted ways with the Royal Challengers Bangalore and in spring 2019 with the Brisbane Heat. Since July 2019 the bowling coach of the Bangladeshi national team .

Private life

Vettori has been married to Mary O'Carroll since 2007 and they have three children together and lives in Auckland.
