Last Man Stands Hamilton

Firepower. Talent. Experience. New Zealand is locked in. 🇳🇿🔥

LMS New Zealand is officially the first nation to reveal its squad for the LMS World Cup 2026, and they are bringing the heat! 🔥

This is a truly formidable lineup packed with raw talent, explosive firepower, and serious tournament pedigree. This squad brings a massive wealth of experience to the global stage, boasting a combined total of 1,744 matches, 49,259 runs, and 1,484 wickets between them. 🤯

Leading the charge for the Kiwis is the reliable Kane Lindsay. No stranger to high-pressure cricket, Kane knows how to win, having successfully captained his local side, Caught Short, to multiple Auckland league titles and NZ National Championships. 🏆💪

The gauntlet has been thrown down. September can’t come soon enough. 🌏

🗣️ Who are you most excited to watch from this squad at the upcoming LMS World Cup? Let us know below! 👇

Congrats to our Thursday night champions - St John's College

After a slow start to the season, the lads went on an incredible run in the second half of the season to sneak into 4th place and give them a chance at the playoffs. In a thrilling final that came down to the final delivery, St John's College defeated last year's champions # NextYearsOurYear by just 4 runs.
