.
Todd decided to put more focus into his part time leg-spin bowling and it was a decision that turned (excuse the pun) out to be a smart one. Over the next seven years Todd managed to string together a number successful seasons with the ball which resulted in Canterbury winning five championships and making his debut for the Blackcaps.
.
Although the success Todd was having in the domestic competition, he was struggling to nail down a regular starting spot in the Blackcaps. Making nearly twenty appearances for New Zealand across all three formats over his 15-year career. Poorly timed injuries, the pressures of international cricket and selection have been valuable character builders for Astle. These experiences have driven him to start a business called INNERSPIN, Todd has harnessed his experiences and learning’s with his aim to inspire and empower others to maximize their potential.
