Shai Hope: West Indies cricket’s great stroke-maker

Born on 10 November 1993 in Barbados, Shai Diego Hope is one of the most stylish and reliable West Indies batsmen in modern cricket. Known for his brilliant stroke play and ability to handle innings, Hope has represented West Indies in Tests, ODIs and T20 Internationals and has made a deep mark especially in the limited-overs format.

🏏 Test career

Shai Hope made his Test debut against England in Bridgetown in May 2015. Although his early Test career was not very special, he etched his name in cricket history during the Headingley Test against England in 2017, where he scored 147 and 118 not out. Thus he became the first player to score a century in both innings of a first-class match at Headingley.

Although his red-ball career has not been on a par with his ODI success, these two centuries remain iconic, reflecting his composure and technique under pressure.

🏏 ODI career

Hope has been a mainstay of the West Indies ODI batting lineup since his debut against Sri Lanka in 2016. He soon established himself as a reliable run-scorer, and is often compared with the best players in the format.

His ability to play long innings, rotate the strike and score quick runs when needed has made him the backbone of West Indies ODI batting.

🏏 T20I career

In T20Is, Hope’s performances have been less prominent than in ODIs. He made his T20I debut against New Zealand in 2017. Although he is not as aggressive as some of his teammates, he provides stability in the top order when selected. His adaptable style allows him to change tactics according to the match situation, although he is better known for his ODI career.
