Jayden Seales

Jayden Nigel Tristen Seales, born on September 10, 2001, in Trinidad, is a standout fast-medium bowler for the West Indies cricket team known for his sharp swing and seam bowling. Seales quickly rose through the ranks with impressive performances for the West Indies Under-19 team in the 2020 World Cup and domestic cricket for Trinidad and Tobago. Making his Test debut in June 2021 against South Africa, he became the youngest West Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul in Tests, a record previously held since 1950. His skill and pace have made him a key player for West Indies in both Test and limited-overs formats, with domestic stints including the Caribbean Premier League and the Lanka Premier League.

In 2025, Seales further cemented his reputation with a historic performance in the ODI series against Pakistan, recording career-best figures of 6 wickets for 18 runs, which are the third-best bowling figures by a West Indies bowler in ODIs and breaking Dale Steyn’s record for the best figures against Pakistan in this format. His dominance helped West Indies secure a resounding series victory, marking the side’s first ODI series win over Pakistan in 34 years. Seales is celebrated for his aggressive bowling, early breakthroughs, and ability to dismantle top batters, positioning him as a vital and exciting future prospect for West Indies cricket.
