Alick Athanaze is a left-handed batter from Dominica who grew up admiring Brian Lara, and traces of that hero can be seen in the occasional flamboyant drive he unleashes. His path in the game was tested early. In 2017, Hurricane Maria tore away part of his family's roof, scattering his bedroom furniture and cricket equipment, just a day before he was due to travel to a training camp in St Lucia. Communication with the island was lost for several weeks afterwards, yet he turned the ordeal into fuel for his cricketing ambitions.

He first drew wide attention at the 2018 U19 World Cup, where only Shubman Gill scored more runs than him. Domestic success followed, most notably when he finished as the top run scorer in the 2022-23 West Indies Championship, the region's four-day competition.
International recognition came in quick succession. On his ODI debut, against the UAE, he made 65 and shared the record for the fastest half-century by a debutant. His Test debut came against India on home soil in Dominica, and he ended that match as the leading scorer for West Indies, with his shot-making earning plenty of praise.
In 2024 he was a member of the Test squad that shared a series 1-1 with Australia. Later that year at Trent Bridge he reached his maiden Test fifty, going on to 82 against England and helping West Indies secure a first-innings lead. In franchise cricket, Barbados Royals selected him for the 2023 Caribbean Premier League and kept him on for the 2024 edition.
