Hayden Walsh Jr.
Hayden Walsh Jr. is a cricketer who has played for both the United States and the West Indies. Born on April 23, 1992, in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, he is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm leg-spin bowler who mainly works as a bowler. His father, Hayden Walsh Sr., and his uncle Vaughn Walsh played first-class cricket for the Leeward Islands, and Walsh followed in their footsteps.
Walsh began his domestic career with the Leeward Islands and later played for Barbados and Worcestershire. He first played for the United States in 2018–2019, making his Twenty20 International debut in March 2019 against the United Arab Emirates and his One Day International debut in April 2019 against Papua New Guinea. In 2019 he also began representing the West Indies in ODIs and T20Is, becoming one of a small number of players to represent two international teams in limited-overs cricket.
A highlight of his career came in July 2021 when he was named Player of the Series in the West Indies’ five-match T20I series against Australia, after taking 12 wickets. He also recorded his first ODI five-wicket haul in the opening match of that Australia series.
