Akeal Hosein is a Trinidadian cricketer whose primary value lies with the ball, making him a bowling all-rounder. He sends down left-arm spin that attacks the stumps with little room to spare, and he can also add runs at a brisk rate when batting in the lower middle-order.

His early promise earned him a place in the West Indies group for the 2012 Under-19 World Cup. At home he represented Trinidad & Tobago, and in the CPL he turned out for the Barbados Tridents, with that stretch of his career falling between 2014 and 2019.
Senior international honours were some time in coming. Hosein made his ODI debut in January 2021 in a series against Bangladesh, and his first T20I followed soon after against Sri Lanka. That same year, Cricket West Indies included him among just ten players handed a central white-ball contract.
He went on to feature in the West Indies squads for the T20 World Cups of both 2021 and 2022. Beyond international duty, Hosein has become a familiar figure on the global T20 circuit, with stints in leagues including the IPL, BPL, PSL, BBL and MLC.
