Norman Vanua is a dynamic bowling all-rounder for Papua New Guinea, known for his pace, passion, and ability to turn games with both bat and ball. Born on December 2, 1993, in Port Moresby, Vanua has been a key figure in PNG’s cricket journey, especially in high-stakes international competitions. With the ball, Vanua bowls at a brisk pace and specializes in bowling at the death. His variations, including slower deliveries and yorkers, make him effective in T20 cricket. He has picked up several important wickets in ICC tournaments and is often used as a strike bowler when PNG needs breakthroughs. What sets Vanua apart is his power-hitting ability in the lower order. He has rescued PNG on numerous occasions with vital runs when the top order has faltered. A notable moment came during the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers, where his late hitting and clutch performances helped secure crucial wins. Vanua made his international debut in 2014 and has grown into a dependable all-rounder. His fighting spirit and never-give-up attitude reflect the resilience of the PNG team as a whole. Vanua is one of PNG’s most valuable players—both for his skills and for the energy he brings to the team. His contributions will be vital as Papua New Guinea looks to strengthen its position in world cricket.
