New Zealand has always had the luxury of wicket keepers playing an extra role of a pure batsman over the years and it has reflected in their test results as well. They recently won the ICC World Test Championship against England and one of the reasons was their ability to play Watling at number six to allow an all-rounder in the side.

There have been excellent wicket-keepers produced from the nation and they deserved a lot of credit for the work they have put in over the years. It demands a lot of agility, stamina, strengths and it requires a lot of mental strength as well. Here are 4 players with most dismissals as a wicketkeeper for New Zealand in tests.
