Katene Clarke is an exciting batting talent representing Northern Districts in New Zealand domestic cricket. He is currently among the leading run-scorers in the 2025/26 Super Smash, amassing 170 runs at an average of 56.66 and a strike rate of 177.08. His recent form has been outstanding, with scores of 97 off 58 balls against Canterbury, 54 off 27 balls versus Wellington, and an unbeaten 60 off 37 balls against Central Districts—performances that earned him two Man of the Match awards.
Long regarded as a future star, Clarke represented New Zealand at the 2018 ICC Under-19 World Cup alongside players such as Rachin Ravindra and Finn Allen, highlighted by a commanding 60 against a strong England attack. He made his domestic debut for Northern Districts across List A, First Class, and T20 formats during the 2019/20 season.
Clarke’s impact at domestic level has been significant. He was named T20 Super Smash Player of the Year in 2021/22, sharing the honour with Tim Seifert, after delivering a series of match-winning performances—including a decisive 90 in a successful run chase against Auckland and scoring the competition’s only century that season. He followed this with a solid 2024/25 campaign, registering 282 runs at an average of 35, and has continued to impress this summer, remaining among the competition’s top run-scorers.
In 2025, Clarke expanded his experience overseas with a stint in the Netherlands for VVV, finishing as one of the Hoofdklasse’s leading run-scorers with 590 runs at 36.88. Following his success abroad, the in-form Northern Districts batter is seeking a return to Europe for the 2026 season.
