Keacy Carty

Before reaching senior level, Carty tasted success as a member of a West Indies team that lifted the U19 World Cup. When he went back to St Marteen after that triumph, he was welcomed as a hero, with both the Prime Minister and the Governor of the country receiving him.

His first appearance for the senior West Indies team came in 2022 against Netherlands. Batting in a difficult run chase, he remained unbeaten on 43 and helped guide his team to victory, an assured start under pressure.

Carty went on to be named in the West Indies squad for the 2023 World Cup qualifiers, where he featured in a small number of matches. Later, in December 2023, he reached his first half-century in ODI cricket against England, and that innings turned out to be decisive in securing the win for his side.

With a youth world title, a composed debut and a match-winning knock against England already to his name, Carty has built a record that his island community can point to with pride.
