Shane Omari Dowrich (born 30 October 1991) is a former Barbadian international cricketer who plays as a wicket-keeper. He has featured for the West Indies, Barbados along with CPL teams St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Barbados Tridents in his cricketing career.[1] Dowrich is also the current captain of the Barbados' first class side.[2]

Early career

A Combermere School student who came through the YMPC Cricket Club,[3] Dowrich represented the West Indies at the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup,[4] making his first-class debut for Barbados at the age of 18 on his return,[5] and was awarded the Lord Gavron Award for promising young cricketers in Barbados alongside Roston Chase at the end of the year.[6] As part of this award, Dowrich spent the 2012 English season playing for Sefton Park[7] in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, scoring two centuries as he totaled 733 league runs at an average of 52.35 [8] despite returning to the Caribbean mid-season to play for West Indies A.

International career

In May 2015 he was named in the 14-man Test squad to face Australia.[9] He made an impressive start on his Test debut against Australia at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica.[10] After conceding a lead of 170 in the first innings, West Indies were struggling at 3/37. He and Marlon Samuels added 144 runs for the fourth wicket before a collapse led West Indies to 216 all out and handed victory to Australia.

On 1 November 2017 Dowrich scored his maiden test century in the second test against Zimbabwe at the Queen's Sports Club, Bulawayo.[11] On 7 June 2018 he notched 125 not out in the first test against Sri Lanka at the Queens Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.[12] In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded him a red-ball contract for the 2018–19 season.[13][14]

On 25 January 2019 Dowrich scored 116 not out in the first test against England at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. With this knock he put on a 295 run partnership with Jason Holder, with the twosome notching the highest unbeaten partnership and the third highest seventh wicket partnership in the history of test match cricket.[15] In April 2019, he was named in the West Indies' One Day International (ODI) squad for the 2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.[16] He made his ODI debut for the West Indies, in the second match of the tri-series, against Bangladesh on 7 May 2019.[17]

In May 2019, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named him as one of ten reserve players in the West Indies' squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[18][19] In June 2020, Dorwich was named in the West Indies' Test squad, for their series against England.[20] The Test series was originally scheduled to start in May 2020, but was moved back to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[21]
