Kevin Stoute
Kevin Andre Stoute (born 12 November 1985) is a Barbadian cricketer who played for the Barbadian national side in West Indian domestic cricket. He is a right-handed pace-bowling all-rounder. Stoute was born in Black Rock, in Barbados' Saint Michael Parish.[1] He made his first-class debut for Barbados during the 2006–07 Carib Beer Cup, aged 21.[2] Stoute recorded his maiden first-class five-wicket haul towards the end of the following season, taking 6/64 in the second innings of a match against Trinidad and Tobago.[3] During the 2008–09 Regional Four Day Competition, Stoute made 604 runs from nine matches, with only two Barbadians, Dwayne Smith and Ryan Hinds, scoring more.[4] His season included two centuries – an even 100 against the Leeward Islands, followed by 186 against Guyana two games later.[2] In 2010, Stoute was selected to tour England and Ireland with the West Indies A team. In a one-off limited-overs fixture against Lancashire on the tour, he took figures of 8/52 from nine overs, although his performance was not enough to win his team the match.[5] Stoute became only the third West Indian to take eight wickets in a List A innings, after Michael Holding and Keith Boyce, and only the tenth person overall.[6] Before that match, he had only taken four wickets in his previous List A career.[7] Despite also finishing as one of the leading run-scorers on the tour, with three half-centuries in six innings,[8] Stoute has not made further appearances for West Indies A (or similar teams). For Barbados, he added another first-class century during the 2012–13 Regional Four Day Competition, 114 against the Leeward Islands, and also took 5/29 against Jamaica during the following season of the competition. Stoute made his captaincy debut for Barbados during the 2013–14 Regional Super50.[2] In June 2020, he was selected by the Windward Islands, in the players' draft hosted by Cricket West Indies ahead of the 2020–21 domestic season.[9] References
