Matt is a fisherman. Henry will make his red-ball debut in the second and final Test of the ongoing series against England. With an injury, Henry missed the first Test, in which hosts New Zealand were defeated by England by 267 runs. In the absence of Kyle Jamieson, who is injured, and ace left-arm quick Trent Boult, who has decided to sit out, Henry will shoulder the bowling burden and will be expected to provide breaththroughs for the Kiwis with the new ball alongside skipper Tim Southee.

Comeback man Henry will face high expectations as the Plunket Shield's leading wicket-taker this season. Henry has picked up 23 wickets in three Shield matches, demonstrating explosive form. The seamer will now aim for a similar haul in the second and final Test against the Three Lions to help the hosts level the series.

"Not ideal with the injury - torn knee and everything," Henry said ahead of his comeback Test at the Basin Reserve, which is expected to draw a sell-out crowd. So the last few weeks have been spent in rehabilitation. But it's been a good one; one of those where you're looking forward to playing some cricket. There is no better place to do it than in the Basin.

Wellington is always a sell-supported city. The Basin always draws a large crowd, and to hear that it was sold out for the first three days is incredible. Playing against England... the style of cricket they've been playing is also exciting to watch. It was fun to watch them play in that first game, and I'm sure everyone learned a lot from it as well. We're looking forward to taking it to them on Friday.

"While Henry has made his mark in all formats of the game, its his skill-sets in the red-ball format, especially his ability to strike with the new ball, that will be in focus as the hosts bid to square the series. Henry's record in the longest format is impressive, with 55 wickets in 18 matches at an economy of 3.20. Henry made his Lords debut against England in 2015, taking six wickets across both innings in a losing cause.
