Colin Munro will pull on his fifth different T20 shirt since the New Zealand home summer when he turns out for the BLACKCAPS against Pakistan in the upcoming three-match series in the UAE.
The swashbuckling opening batsman plundered 572 runs at an impressive strike-rate of 182 in the 2017-18 T20 international season.
He also became the first man to score three T20I centuries and rose to the number one ICC batting ranking in the shortest form of the game.
Munro has been around the world and back over the winter. He played for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Hampshire in England’s T20 Blast, the Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and the Balkh Legends in the recent Afghanistan Premier League (APL).
The 31-year-old was named Player of the Tournament following a victorious CPL campaign and followed that up by winning the APL.
Munro is currently ranked fourth in the ICC T20 batting rankings with the BLACKCAPS fifth in the latest team rankings, while Pakistan remains at number one and on a ten-series winning streak, following their three-nil series win over Australia.
The BLACKCAPS and Pakistan series begins on Wednesday night in Abu Dhabi, 5am Thursday morning NZT, live on SKY Sport.
