Michael Rippon has been on the receiving end of many cricket awards recently. The Otago Volts player was named the Player of the Year for the 2019/20 season. He also took his best bowling figures (6/66) and made 497 in the season. Michael has been working hard on his First-Class game and the evidence is there to prove that.
Michael admitted that he has been a predominant white ball cricketer and has become a vital part of the Otago Volts team doing well in the Super Smash and the Ford Trophy competitions.
Whilst Michael feels the team can improve on last seasons performances, there are many exciting prospects for the squad with the average age being 24.
We spoke about his life in New Zealand, how he is handling the pressure of the game of cricket, as well as his time with New Zealand 'A'.
