Snehith “Lucky” Reddy is one of New Zealand’s most promising young cricket talents, already making waves as a dynamic batting all-rounder with off-spin bowling at just 17 years old.

Born in India and now a key part of the Northern Districts setup, Lucky was awarded Northern Districts’ 16th and final domestic contract ahead of the 2024/25 season, a remarkable achievement given his youth. He joined a squad boasting international experience from players such as Neil Wagner and Jeet Raval, and a legacy that includes Blackcaps legends like Kane Williamson and Trent Boult.

A product of Hamilton Boys’ High School, Reddy excelled across schoolboy, age-group, Minor Association, and Provincial A levels. In 2023, he represented Northern Districts at U17, U19, and Provincial A Tournaments, and also starred for Hamilton in the Fergus Hickey Rosebowl — highlighted by a commanding century (111) against Counties-Manukau and strong bowling figures of 4-39 versus Auckland A.

Reddy’s standout performances earned him the New Zealand Men’s U17 Player of the Year award, and he represented New Zealand at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa, where he lit up the tournament with a brilliant unbeaten 147* off 125 balls against Nepal.

In the 2024/25 season, Lucky featured in the New Zealand Prime Minister’s XI against England, scoring a well-crafted 60 and 33* against a formidable bowling attack that included Woakes, Atkinson, Stone, Carse, Bashir, and Leach. He continued to impress for the New Zealand Development Squad in the Development Series, finishing as the team’s second-leading wicket-taker with an average of 18.50.

While he has yet to debut in a first-class match for Northern Districts’ senior side, he has been a regular performer for their A team, showcasing his readiness for the next level.

With only one first-class match required to qualify for UK club cricket in 2026, Snehith “Lucky” Reddy is on the cusp of an exciting career both domestically and abroad. His blend of elegant batting and effective off-spin bowling marks him as a prodigious talent destined for the big stage. He aims to cement his place in Northern Districts this summer before seeking valuable overseas experience in 2026.
