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 followed up with scores of 41, in his third Plunket Shield match against Auckland (April 2022), and 29* on his Ford Trophy (List A) debut against Wellington (Dec 2022).
It seems only a matter of time till Clark cements his spot across all formats for CD, in a side that includes the likes of Ross Taylor, Ajaz Patel, Will Young, Blair Tickner, and Doug Bracewell, to name but a few Blackcaps players' representing the Stags.
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.
