Matt Taylor is a bits and pieces player, you find plenty of them in New Zealand, for Wellington. He is a right-arm medium pacer and a right-hand batsman. Started his career with his local club and played for the A side before making his first class debut.

Taylor was first considered for the short forms of the game and made his debut in List A and T20 and a year later made his four-day debut. There is nothing significant in his brief career other than his liking for the shortest format - striking at close to 140 and has a fifty to his name.

In the handful of first class games, Taylor is yet to reach the fifty mark and did not feature for the entire duration of the 2017/18 Plunket Shield. However, he is still in his mid 20s and has loads of time to turn it on for Wellington and probably New Zealand.
