Archie Redfern is a hugely talented cricketer making his way through the Canterbury ranks in New Zealand.
A player of some pedigree, Redfern was a stand-out at age group level, dominating for the Christchurch Boys’ High School 1st XI, Canterbury U17s, U19s, and continues to excel at both Premier Club (Cheviot), and Provincial (Canterbury Country) level.
He spent three years with CBHS, helping the School to the Gillette Cup title in 2017, and finishing as the third-leading run-scorer in 2018 (267 runs at 62).
He enjoyed run-filled representative tournaments with Canterbury (U17s, U19s), and his sheer weight of runs culminated with New Zealand Under-19 wider squad selection and a Cricket Scholarship to Lincoln University.
Redfern has made a successful transition from schoolboy to senior men’s cricket. In 2021/22 he was the third leading run-scorer in the Canterbury Country Premier Competition (697 runs at 37), and, over the past two seasons, has excelled whilst opening the batting for Canterbury Country, in a side that features the likes of Rhys Mariu (NZ U19s), Harry Chamberlain, Zak Foulkes, Blake Coburn, Fraser Sheat (Canterbury), Will Williams (Lancashire), and Tim Gruijters (Netherlands).
The highlight during his Canterbury Country campaign came in March 2023 in a Hawke Cup Challenge Match against Waikato Valley. The opening bat batted a tick under 9 hours to strike a brilliant double century. Redfern's 210 from 445 balls included 26 fours and was his second Hawke Cup century of the summer, following his 149 (268 balls) against Buller a few months earlier.
The right-handed opening batter, who is also a dynamic fielder and useful off-spinner, really is quite the talent. Now pushing towards full State honours, and in view toward his development, the young gun is heading to Holland in 2024.
