Rivaldo Clarke

Rivaldo Adrian Clarke, born on December 29, 2002, in Barbados, is a promising wicketkeeper-batsman for the West Indies cricket team. Known for his right-handed batting and sharp skills behind the stumps, Clarke made his first-class and List A debuts for the West Indies Academy in early 2024 and his T20 debut for the Saint Lucia Kings in 2022. He hails from a cricketing family, being a cousin to notable players like Ashley Nurse, and was coached in his early teens by West Indies World Cup hero Collis King. Clarke emerged as the leading run-scorer at the Cricket West Indies High Performance Camp with two centuries, highlighting his batting reliability in the middle order.

Clarke made his One Day International debut for the West Indies in March 2023 against South Africa and quickly became an integral part of the team through important contributions, including maiden ODI fifties and T20 International half-centuries. His aggressive batting style, combined with agile wicketkeeping, has already led to several match-winning performances and key catches. As of mid-2025, Clarke continues to be a vital player for the West Indies, representing teams like Barbados Royals and West Indies Academy in domestic leagues, and is regarded as a rising star expected to play a significant role in the future of West Indies cricket.
