Jayden Nigel Tristen Seales (born 10 September 2001) is a Trinidadian cricketer who is mainly a right-arm fast medium bowler.[1] Seales made his international debut for the West Indies cricket team in June 2021.[2]

Career

[edit]

He made his Twenty20 debut on 18 August 2020, for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League,[3] taking one wicket in the match.[4] Prior to his T20 debut, he was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[5] He made his first-class debut on 11 December 2020, for the West Indies A against New Zealand A, during the West Indies tour of New Zealand.[6] He made his List A debut on 17 February 2021, for Trinidad and Tobago, in the 2020–21 Super50 Cup.[7]

In March 2021, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named Seales as a developmental player for the first Test match against Sri Lanka.[8] In June 2021, Seales was named in a 17-man provisional squad for the Test series against South Africa.[9] Prior to his selection, Seales had only played in ten professional matches, including just one first-class fixture.[10] On 8 June 2021, CWI named Seales in the squad for the first Test against South Africa.[11] On being named in the squad, Seales said that it was a "a dream come true" and hoped that he would be selected for the match.[12] Seales made his Test debut against South Africa on 6 June 2021.[13] Despite a heavy defeat for the West Indies in the match, Seales took three wickets, including a wicket in the first over he bowled.[14]

In August 2021, in the first match against Pakistan, Seales took his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket, with 5/55 in the second innings.[15] In doing so, he became the youngest cricketer from the West Indies to take a five-wicket haul in Tests, breaking Alf Valentine's record set in 1950.[16]

In November 2021, he was selected to play for the Jaffna Kings following the players' draft for the 2021 Lanka Premier League.[17]

In December 2021, he was named in the West Indies' One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against Ireland.[18] In May 2022, he was named in the West Indies ODI squads for their series against the Netherlands and Pakistan.[19] He made his ODI debut on 4 June 2022, for the West Indies against the Netherlands.[20]
