Kemar Roach, born June 30, 1988, in Barbados, is one of West Indies’ most experienced and successful fast bowlers in the modern era. Renowned for his ability to swing the ball at high pace and extract movement off the pitch, Roach has been a cornerstone of West Indies' Test bowling attack for over a decade. He made his Test debut in 2009 and immediately impressed by bowling at speeds over 150 km/h. Notably, he dismantled Australia with a five-wicket haul early in his career. Over the years, Roach evolved into a more strategic bowler, focusing on seam and swing rather than sheer pace, which extended his longevity and effectiveness. Roach achieved the milestone of 250+ Test wickets, placing him among the top West Indies bowlers in history. His performances in series wins against England and Bangladesh were crucial in restoring pride in West Indies Test cricket. Though less active in limited-overs formats in recent years, Roach remains vital in red-ball cricket. Off the pitch, Roach is calm, composed, and deeply respected for his leadership and mentorship to younger pacers like Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales. He represents the modern West Indies pacer: disciplined, consistent, and intelligent.
