Jarrod McKay is a lively, young, fast bowler currently on contract with the Otago Volts.
Standing a towering 6 foot, 5 inches, McKay is both a skilful and menacing quick who produces extra bounce and generates pace up to 140kph.
He broke into first-class cricket in 2019, initially for Central Districts, before moving to the deep south where he earned a contract in 2020. He has since played 25 first-class (Plunket Shield), 8 List A (Ford Trophy), and 1 Super Smash (T20) matches, where he boasts 68 wickets, including best figures of 4-84 in red ball cricket.
McKay always seemed destined for professional cricket. He represented his province (Nelson) and State (Central Districts) through the age groups, before breaking into the Stags senior outfit in 2019/20. A year later and he was not only with the Volts but played several matches for the New Zealand XI against the touring Pakistanis (Jan 2021), Bangladeshis (Dec 2021), and England (Feb 2023).
The right-arm quick has made quite the impact in domestic cricket to date and is a player that comes highly recommended by numerous sources in New Zealand cricket. McKay is a highly driven cricketer who aspires to become a key figure for the Volts and push for Blackcaps honours in future.
He's made every post a winner this summer in New Zealand. The tall quick topped the Volts first-class wicket charts, and his 26 poles at 35.76 saw him finish 6th on the Plunket Shield charts overall.
Now the season has come to an end, McKay will head abroad in 2025 having signed with Elworth for their North Staffs and South Cheshire campaign. It will be his second UK club stint having previously featured for Bridgwater in the West of England Premier League back in 2023 (31 wickets at 23.45).
The Volts quick is definitely one to watch this summer.
