Keemo Mandela Angus Paul (born 21 February 1998) is a Guyanese cricketer who plays for the West Indies cricket team.[1]

U19 and domestic career

He made his List A debut on 16 January 2015 in the 2014–15 Regional Super50 tournament.[2]

In December 2015, Paul was named in the West Indies squad for the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[3] During the tournament, Paul attracted some controversy when he mankaded a batsman in the last over of the final group match between the West Indies and Zimbabwe.[4] The West Indies won the match and consequently finished second in their group, qualifying for the quarter-finals and eventually going on to win the tournament.[5] He took 7 wickets throughout the competition, including 2 in the final against India, as well as averaging over 40 with the bat for the tournament.[6]

He made his first-class debut for Guyana in the 2016–17 Regional Four Day Competition on 18 March 2017.[7] He made his Twenty20 debut for Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 2017 Caribbean Premier League on 5 August 2017.[8] In October 2017, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket, batting for Guyana against Jamaica in the 2017–18 Regional Four Day Competition.[9]

In June 2018, he was named the Emerging Cricketer of the Year at the annual Cricket West Indies' Awards.[10] In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded him a development contract for the 2018–19 season.[11][12]

International career

On 9 March 2018, Paul was added to the West Indies squad for the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, after Sheldon Cottrell suffered an injury.[13] He made his One Day International (ODI) debut for the West Indies against Afghanistan in the World Cup Qualifier on 15 March 2018.[14]

In March 2018, he was named in the West Indies squad for their Twenty20 International (T20I) series against Pakistan.[15] He made his T20I debut for the West Indies against Pakistan on 1 April 2018.[16]

In July 2018, he was named in the West Indies Test squad for the series against Bangladesh.[17] He made his Test debut for the West Indies on 12 July 2018.[18]
