DateLine: 17th June 2008

 

A right-arm fast bowler, Kemar Roach was part of the Barbados and West Indies Under-19 teams before being called-up to West Indies' third Test squad against Australia in his hometown.

 

He was originally slated to play in the Lancashire league in England at around the same time as a professional but was ineligible as he had only played four first-class games, one short of the required number of five. But to add to his good fortune, it left a window open for Test selection and he eventually made it to the squad. Roach first played for Barbados in the 2006-07 KFC Cup, even before he had made his first-class debut the following season. He impressed in only his second match with a match-haul of 5 for 73 against Guyana.
