Have we witnessed a rubber-and-leather glove cricketing revolution in the New Zealand test wicket-keeping ranks?

11 December 2025

Debutant Mitch Hay looked to the manor born on the opening day of the second match against the West Indies in Wellington.

The hosts are 24 without loss in reply to the visitors' 205.

25-year-old Hay is filling in after 35-year-old Tom Blundell suffered a hamstring tear in Christchurch.
