Martin is no mug with the bat as he boasts of a score of unbeaten 113 for New Zealand A against Sri Lanka A batting at number 10. In 2012, the uncapped 32-year old Martin was called-up to New Zealand’s Test squad for their series against South Africa. He was the leading wicket-taker among the spinners in that year’s Plunket Shield, which led to his inclusion in the national side.
