Will Clark is one of New Zealand’s brightest prospects. An explosive top-order batter, and brisk seam bowler, Clark starred for Central Districts age group level, represented New Zealand U19s in 7 ODI’s, and is now involved with the CD Stags in domestic cricket.

Such is Clark’s all-round talent, he joined an elite group of cricketers when opening both batting and bowling for CD in only his second Plunket Shield (first-class) match against Northern Districts.

He has since become a stand-out performer for the Stags, particularly in the white ball formats. In the Ford Trophy (List A), and Super Smash (T20) competitions, Clark has 327 runs at 46.71, and 193 runs at 24.12, with his fair share of wickets to boot. What is just as impressive as his averages is his batting strike rate, going at 93.69, and 110.91 in List A, and T20, respectively.

It seems only a matter of time till Clark not only becomes a first-class regular, in a side that includes the likes of Ajaz Patel, Will Young, Blair Tickner, and Doug Bracewell, but potentially go on to represent the Blackcaps.

Clark is an exciting talent, one who has been earmarked for international honours since his mid-teens. He starred for CD at both the U17 and U19 tournaments, culminating with NZ U19 selection. He has then excelled for Hawkes Bay, with scores of 201 and 120 in recent seasons. Clark has been a key figure for CD ‘A’ too, with notable scores of 120* and 97 to earn a Stags call-up.

The batting all-rounder also enjoyed a stand-out season in the Netherlands last summer (2023). Playing for Sparta 1888 in the Dutch Topklasse competition, he impressed with both bat and ball.

Having enjoyed success last summer, Clark is now eager for more overseas opportunities in future. A serious talent.
