Full Name: Williamsing Nalisa Date of Birth: December 18, 1999 Birthplace: Port Vila, Vanuatu Role: Right-Handed Batter | Right-Arm Off-Break Bowler | All-Rounder If there’s one word to describe Williamsing Nalisa, it’s “balance.” Wearing jersey number 33, Nalisa is a gifted all-rounder whose steady temperament and natural cricketing instincts have made him one of the brightest young talents in the Vanuatu national side. Whether breaking partnerships with his off-spin or holding the middle order together, Nalisa brings a sense of calm to high-pressure situations that belies his age. Born in Port Vila in 1999, Nalisa grew up in a cricket-loving household. From a young age, he was drawn to both batting and bowling—not because he had to do both, but because he genuinely loved both aspects of the game. It wasn’t uncommon to see him bowl for hours, only to turn around and practice his cover drives until the sun disappeared behind the hills. His early dedication laid the foundation for the reliable all-rounder he would later become. Nalisa made his mark on the national scene in his late teens, quickly impressing coaches with his composed mindset and cricketing intelligence. By 19, he was part of Vanuatu’s T20I squad and hasn’t looked back since. His first standout performance came during the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Qualifiers, where he delivered a game-changing 3-wicket haul against Fiji, dismissing key middle-order batters with smart flight and sharp spin. With the bat, Nalisa is technically solid and tactically aware. He’s not a power-hitter in the traditional sense, but he reads the game beautifully—knowing when to rotate, when to consolidate, and when to accelerate. In a crucial match against the Philippines in 2023, he scored a mature 42 off 36 balls, guiding the chase with cool precision after early wickets had fallen. It was the kind of innings that reminded everyone why he’s so vital to Vanuatu’s batting structure. His off-spin remains a potent weapon. While he doesn’t turn the ball massively, his ability to control the pace and keep the stumps in play has made him a consistent wicket-taker. His economy rate in T20Is remains under 6.5, a rare achievement in the format and a testament to his accuracy and discipline. What makes Williamsing truly special, however, is his quiet leadership. Even as a younger player, he shows maturity beyond his years. Teammates look to him during crunch moments—not because he’s the loudest, but because he’s calm, clear-headed, and leads by example. Coaches often praise his adaptability and hunger to learn, which has helped him grow into a complete cricketer. Off the field, Nalisa is grounded and community-driven. He often trains with school-level players in Port Vila, lending tips, encouragement, and time. For him, cricket isn’t just a sport—it’s a platform to inspire and unite. At just 25, Williamsing Nalisa, with jersey number 33, stands at the heart of Vanuatu’s present and future. A true all-rounder in ability and attitude, he continues to evolve with every match—solidifying his place as one of Vanuatu’s most dependable cricketing pillars.
