Early life

Jamieson attended Auckland Grammar school[5] and was part of New Zealand's squad for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. In his youth, Jamieson played point guard at the New Zealand Breakers academy, but chose cricket over basketball as he was a proficient fast bowler.[6]

Career

A right-arm fast-medium bowler and useful lower-order batsman, Jamieson is six feet eight inches tall, the tallest person ever to play international cricket for New Zealand.[7] He started out as a batting all-rounder, but in 2012, he was slowly converted to become a bowler under the tutelage of bowling coach, Dayle Hadlee, brother of Richard Hadlee.[8][9][10] He made his Twenty20 debut for Canterbury on 4 December 2016 in the 2016–17 Super Smash.[11] In June 2018, he was awarded a contract with Canterbury for the 2018–19 season.[12]

On 1 January 2019, in the match between Auckland Aces and Canterbury Kings in the 2018–19 Super Smash, Jamieson took the best figures by a bowler in a T20 match in New Zealand, and the third-best figures ever, when he took six wickets for seven runs from his four overs.[13][14] He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2018–19 Super Smash, with 22 dismissals in ten matches.[15]

In December 2019, Jamieson was added to New Zealand's Test squad for their series against Australia, but did not play.[16] In January 2020, he was named in New Zealand's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against India.[17] He made his ODI debut for New Zealand, against India, on 8 February 2020, and was named the player of the match.[18][19] Jamieson made his Test debut for New Zealand, against India, on 21 February 2020.[20] In the next match, Jamieson took his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket.[21]

In October 2020, in the second round of matches in the 2020–21 Plunket Shield season, Jamieson took a hat-trick against Central Districts.[22] In November 2020, Jamieson was named in New Zealand's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for the series against the West Indies.[23] He made his T20I debut for New Zealand on 27 November 2020, against the West Indies.[24]

In January 2021, Jamieson took his best figures in a Test match with 11 for 117 in the second Test against Pakistan.[25] In February 2021, Jamieson was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL auction ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League.[26] In June 2021, Jamieson was signed by Surrey County Cricket Club to play matches for them following the conclusion of the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final.[27] In the 2019–2021 ICC World Test Championship Final, Jamieson was named as the man of the match, after taking seven wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the first innings.[28]

In August 2021, Jamieson was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[29] In the annual ICC Awards in January 2022, Jamieson was named in the ICC Men's Test Team of the Year for the year 2021.[30]
