Tarun Sai Nethula (born 8 May 1983) is an Indian-born New Zealand cricketer who plays for the Auckland Aces in the Plunket Shield. He started his cricket training at St. Johns Cricket Academy in Hyderabad, Telangana[2] and moved to New Zealand at the age of 11.[3]

He made his international debut for New Zealand in 2012 in a One Day International against Zimbabwe. He completed all ten overs, but did not take a wicket.[4]

Domestic career

He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2017–18 Ford Trophy, with 21 dismissals in ten matches for Auckland[5] as Auckland took the title from Nethula's former team, the Central Stags. Jeet Raval commented: "It's a big game, big players step up and Tarun has been a big player for the Aces for the last four to five years and long may it continue". Nethula took 43 Plunket Shield wickets in 2016–17, one behind Stags left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, his former teammate.[6]

Besides playing cricket has a career as Sports Director at Mount Roskill Grammar School, since May 2017. He graduated from Massey University with a degree in International Business.[7]
