Tim Seifert, who was born in December 1994, participated in the 2014 World Cup as a member of the New Zealand Under-19 team. The New Zealand batsman Tim Seifert is known for his aggressive style and preference for shorter formats. His T20 century against Auckland took only 40 balls, making it the fastest ever in New Zealand. Like many other wicketkeepers, Seifert had been trying out for a spot in the New Zealand XI for quite some time. Even though he struggled to score regularly, his efforts behind the wickets have earned him a spot on the team. Seifert made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka in January 2019, which was unexpected given his lackluster List-A showings.
