Playing career

During the 2008/09 season, Richardson helped Jamaica win the Regional Four Day Competition by taking 33 wickets at an average of 23.12. Following this, it was announced that Richardson would replace the out of form Darren Powell in the West Indies squad for the tour England in April 2009.

He is tall, accurate and has the ability to get wickets at crucial stages in the game".[1]
