William Edgar Richard Somerville (born 9 August 1984) is a New Zealand cricketer who plays for Auckland. He made his international debut for New Zealand in December 2018. Somerville will be seen as a senior spin bowler, despite only three Test appearances so far, largely due to his vast experience playing for New South Wales. A little over three years ago on December 27th 2016, he picked his first Big Bash wicket playing for the Sydney Sixers in front of a packed SCG crowd. Notably, he played 12 first-class matches for New South Wales including five at the SCG where he took 23 wickets at 20.69.
Having played and trained alongside Somerville, Nathan Lyon firmly believes he could be a force to reckon with given his admirable skill-set and familiarity with the conditions on offer. As Somerville prepares to send down deliveries from the Paddington End in the Kiwi camp, the question lingers over who will share the spin-bowling duties with him in tandem from the Randwick End should the conditions demand two spinners in action.
Therefore, let’s dig into the life of William Somerville to know more about his lifestyle, career, stats, and bio
