Profile
A left arm orthodox spinner who could also bat a bit, Luke Woodcock was a veteran in the domestic circuit before getting an international call. The proficiency of Daniel Vettori kept him in the sidelines for a long time. He was the only uncapped player when the squad for the 2011 World Cup was announced. The strategy being to strengthen the spin department going into the sub-continent. He was subsequently called up for the last ODI against Pakistan just before the World Cup. He failed to pick up a wicket then. He was a member of the eleven when New Zealand took on South Africa in the quarter finals of the 2011 World Cup.
He played two more games after the WC and also picked up 2 for 58 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo, but could never keep a permanent place in the side which had Vettori, Nathan McCullum or Jeetan Patel. Woodcock hasn't played international cricket since October 2011 and has kept performing for Wellington in the domestic circuit.
Woodcock transformed himself into a batsman and bowling took a backseat. He started to open for Wellington and has scored truckloads of runs for them. His partnership at the top of the order with Papps is one of the best in New Zealand domestic cricket.
Apart from scoring over 7000 runs, Woodcock has 11 first class hundreds with a highest score of 220. He was also involved in a record partnership with Papps - the pair added 432 for the opening wicket in 2017/18 season - the highest stand for any wicket in first-class cricket in New Zealand. Woodcock made 151 in that innings and at the -end of the season signed a new contract with Wellington.
In March 2019, the 17-season veteran for Wellington announced his retirement from cricket.
