Ackeem Auguste

Ackeem Wayne Jarrell Auguste is a promising young cricketer from Saint Lucia, born on September 12, 2003. Primarily a top-order batter, he represents the West Indies Academy and is noted for being only the second cricketer from Saint Lucia with two middle names to play for the West Indies, the first being the legendary Daren Sammy. This link to a successful Saint Lucian cricketer adds historical significance to his journey and places additional attention on his development.

Auguste rose rapidly through the youth system and earned the captaincy of the West Indies Under-19 squad for the 2022 Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup. Leading the team on a global stage at a young age underlined both his batting talent and leadership qualities, giving him valuable exposure ahead of senior-level cricket.

His transition into senior domestic cricket covers all three formats. He made his First-Class debut for the Windward Islands during the 2021–22 West Indies Championship, underlining the trust placed in his red-ball game. He later gained experience in franchise cricket with the Saint Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League, adding to his development in high-pressure T20 environments. His List A debut came with the West Indies Academy in the Super50 Cup, completing an early introduction to multi-format cricket.

At the international level, Auguste has broken into the West Indies senior setup at a young age, reflecting the high regard in which he is held by selectors. He made his ODI and T20I debut in the year 2025. Though still in the early stages of his international journey, his call-ups highlight his potential as a long-term top-order option. Exposure at this level is expected to shape him into a more complete batter as he continues to establish himself on the world stage. Having already navigated the pathway from youth cricket to senior domestic and international exposure, Ackeem Wayne Jarrell Auguste stands out as one of Saint Lucia’s most exciting modern prospects, with his progression closely followed by those within West Indies cricket.
