Mikyle Louis is a 23-year-old right-handed opening batsman from St. Kitts who has had an exceptional regional season this year.
He is a tall, elegant and powerful opener who concluded his final innings versus the Windwards on Thursday with a phenomenal 682 runs in one season.
This includes three centuries and four half centuries, at an enviable average of 48.7
Many have called for his selection to the Windies team, set to tour England later this year, and have stated that he is “knocking at the door.” With stats like those, it is clear that Louis stopped knocking at the door a long time ago.
He has broken down the door, and the chief selector, Sir Desmond Haynes, has no alternative but to ensure that he creates history as the first Kittitian to make it to the senior West Indies men’s team.
