Akeal Hosein
About
An international debut had to wait till January 2021 in an ODI series against Bangladesh and a T20I debut came quickly thereafter against Sri Lanka. He became only one of ten players to be awarded a central white-ball contract by Cricket West Indies in 2021.
Hosein was a part of both the 2021 and 2022 T20 World Cup squads for the West Indies. He also plies his trade in T20 competitions around the globe and has played in the IPL, BPL, PSL, BBL and MLC amongst others.
