Quentin Sampson

Quentin Sampson is an emerging right-handed batsman from Guyana who has recently broken into the West Indies' T20I setup as a hard-hitting middle-order prospect. Born on August 4, 2000, he gained significant recognition during the 2025 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) season, where he was a standout performer for the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Amassing 241 runs at a robust strike rate of 151.57, he finished as the team's third-highest run-scorer, a feat that highlighted his potential as a modern power hitter. His domestic journey has also seen him represent teams like the Guyana Harpy Eagles and the Guyana Rainforest Rangers, where his ability to provide quick-fire runs and occasional right-arm medium pace has made him a versatile asset in the shorter formats.

As of late January 2026, Sampson has reached a major milestone in his career by being included in the West Indies' 15-man squad for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup. This call-up followed his international debut in a three-match series against Afghanistan in Dubai, where he scored 35 runs across three innings, including a top score of 30. Despite a modest start at the international level, the West Indian selectors have backed his 'raw power' and CPL form as vital for the upcoming global tournament in India and Sri Lanka. Often batting in the middle order, Sampson is expected to compete for a finishing role alongside established stars, marking him as one of the key 'new faces' in the Caribbean side's quest for a third T20 World Cup title.
