Despite making their debut in 2015, opportunities for New Zealand’s systematic pace attack of Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner were limited. While he became a regular in ODI cricket, renowned for his new ball skills, his red ball career struggled to gain momentum. Between May 2015 and June 2021, Henry featured in only 13 of New Zealand’s 47 Test matches. The returns reflected his stop-start chances: 31 wickets at 51.55, striking only once every 16 overs.
