Matthew James Henry (born 14 December 1991) is a New Zealand cricketer who plays for Canterbury in domestic cricket and, in England, for Worcestershire. He is a right-arm fast-medium bowler. He currently plays for the New Zealand International Team.

International career

He made his international debut on 31 January 2014 in the fifth ODI against India.[1] He made his Twenty20 International debut for New Zealand against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates on 4 December 2014.[2]

Despite not being picked in the final squad of 15 for 2015 Cricket World Cup, he was selected as a replacement for Adam Milne in the semi-final match against South Africa at Eden Park. He was wicketless in the match, but however, the batting of Grant Elliott sealed the way through to the World Cup final for the first time. Against Australia in the final at Melbourne, Henry showed a serious pace and took two early wickets of David Warner and Michael Clarke. He finished the spell with 2/46, but finally New Zealand lost the match by 7 wickets.[3]

Henry's Test debut for New Zealand came during the tour against England in May 2015.[4]

Henry was not picked for the final squad again for 2016 ICC World T20, but may be used as an injury cover.
