Born to a cricketing family, it was only a matter of time before Michael Bracewell took to cricket and that he did with aplomb. A dashing wicket-keeper who bats left-handed, he is a part of the Wellington unit that is actually spoilt for choices as far as gloveman as concerned. But with Tom Blundell there, the likes of Bracewell and Conway usually play as pure bats. Coming to Bracewell, his father Mark was a former domestic star while his uncles Brendon and John, as well as cousin Doug, went on to play cricket at the highest level for New Zealand. Like many young New Zealand sportsmen, Michael is also well-versed with rugby and also plays basketball. Interestingly, he and Doug were both a part of the country's U19 team in 2010 but Michael is yet to get a national call. A destructive batsman who models his game on Adam Gilchrist, the man from Masterton still has age on his side.
