Colin Munro
(New Zealand Cricketer)
Colin Munro, a South-Africa born New Zealand international cricketer, is recognised as one of the most destructive batsmen in Twenty 20 cricket. When in flow, Munro hits the cricket ball as long as anyone in the game. After debuting in 2012, Munro has been in and out of Black Caps’ limited-overs teams.
The Kiwi all-rounder has quit Test cricket quoting that his “passion for that format of the game isn’t what it once was.” He made only one appearance for New Zealand in Test, against South Africa in 2013.
