Somewhere in middle of studying for an environmental science exam & keeping wicket for Trinidad and Tobago, Amir Jangoo found his cricket. Not the T20 kind that pays quickly & leaves quickly. The other kind; long, slow, dignified kind that most Caribbean boards have spent a decade quietly mourning.

He was born in St. James, Trinidad. He went to Fatima College, same school that produced Brian Lara, which is either inspiring or terrifying depending on how you handle that kind of shadow.
But the real story is traffic. Every day! Training with Red Force from 9 AM to 1 PM. then lectures at UWI St. Augustine from 2 PM to 6 PM. He would sit in class with his legs still burning from keeping drills, handing in assignments between regional matches, missing lectures because he was on a plane to some other island. He graduated anyway.

This is not the biography of a modern cricketer. The modern cricketer drops out at 16 & hits sixes for franchise money. Jangoo kept both hands full. One with textbooks, one with gloves. Denesh Ramdin saw something in him. Made him keeper for Red Force in 2017. Taught him that surviving is also a skill.

His ODI debut came in December 2024. West Indies wobbling at 86 for 4, chasing 322. He walked in at number 6 & told himself that he just did not want to make a duck. He finished unbeaten on 104* off 83 balls. fastest debut century in ODI history. first by anyone batting at 6 or lower.

Then yesterday at Antigua on 27th June 2026. a late call up because Shai Hope pulled his shoulder in training. He batted for 9.5 hours & scored 233 runs. A 6th wicket partnership of 401 with Roston Chase, a world record that rewrote 149 years of Test history.

West Indies cricket has been looking for a reason to believe in red ball cricket for a while now. T20 leagues are pulling kids away from red ball cricket like gravity.
Here is that reason, standing at crease, patient as a man who once balanced a degree with a first class career, waiting for the right ball to put away.

This is a team that can get all out for 37, win a pink ball test match at the Gabba, chase down 320 odd for a win at the Headingley and now tracking down 530 with some solid character at Christchurch.👌👌#wivnz

They are such a talented cricketing nation that can excite and disappoint fans in equal measures.

[Aiden R @AidenAR3]

Correct

@joebell_ The style is cool. It feels distinct and refreshingly different from most UI components

if canada doesn’t capitalize on this H1B situation, it’ll be a generational fumble

Canada might be the only country on Earth that has both an immigration problem and a brain drain problem

Kofi James was the top run scorer in the Breakout League.

He has played one game in CPL this season.

Micah McKenzie was the top wicket taker

He has played ZERO games in CPL
