Black Caps wicketkeeper Tom Latham was in a festive mood today, hitting the nets in a Santa hat ahead of the third ODI against the Windies in Christchurch tomorrow.

As some of the team took part in an optional training session on Christmas Day, Latham appeared to be in the spirit, playing an array of shots with his hat on.

Latham wasn't the only one to get involved however, with opener George Worker also wearing a Santa hat as he fronted media after training.
