Jamieson has had a great start to his Test career for New Zealand picking 36 wickets in 6 Tests at an average of 13.27 and strike rate of 33.3. He has also played two ODIs and four T20Is for his country but not tasted the same success. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Jamieson is a useful lower-order batsman.

Jamieson has picked 54 wickets in 38 T20 matches at a very impressive strike rate of 15.4 in T20 cricket. It is his wicket-taking propensity which has attracted the big moolah for him in the IPL Auctions.
