About

William O’Rourke, a tall right-arm fast bowler from New Zealand, is known for leveraging his height to great effect. A promising talent in the Kiwi set-up, he has made a mark over the past few years with impressive performances. O’Rourke shot to prominence with a remarkable match haul of nine wickets against South Africa in 2024 on his test debut. His consistency and ability to generate pace and bounce earned him a spot with the Lucknow Super Giants for the final stage of TATA IPL 2025 as an injury replacement for Mayank Yadav, at a reserve price of INR 3 Crore. Joining the league presents a fantastic opportunity for O’Rourke to showcase his skills on a grand stage and learn from the best, including LSG mentor Zaheer Khan, which will significantly aid his growth and development as a young cricketer.
