Matthew Fisher

Matthew Fisher is a promising right-arm medium-fast bowler who represents Northern Districts in New Zealand domestic cricket. Born on November 10, 1999, in Auckland, he has steadily built his reputation through the domestic system, showing a consistent ability to take wickets—having claimed 43 wickets in 25 List A matches at an average of 26.5. His development has also seen him feature for New Zealand A and represent the senior national side in both Test and T20I formats, marking him as a rising talent within the New Zealand pace-bowling ranks.

In the context of the 2026 cricket calendar, Fisher has earned a maiden ODI call-up to the New Zealand squad for the upcoming five-match tour of the West Indies, which begins on July 11, 2026. Head coach Rob Walter has highlighted Fisher's ability to bowl with good pace and his recent work on developing variations to operate effectively at different stages of an innings. His selection comes as part of a strategic squad rotation, and his inclusion is seen as a valuable opportunity for him to gain international experience and establish his role in the side for the next white-ball cycle.
