Coming in at No.8 with the score 95 for 6, West Indies were staring at a match-losing deficit in reply to England’s 204 in the thrid Test at National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Grenada. The early stages of Joshua Da Silva’s innings were restrained with just 13 runs coming off his first 86 deliveries. Fifty-three came off his next 86 as he began to open up. And then as he shepherded the final stages of the innings he returned to his shell with 34 coming off his final 85 deliveries.
He was eventually unbeaten on 100 as West Indies defeated England by 1-0 and won the Test series.
A wicketkeeper-batter from Trinidad and Tobago, Joshua was selected among the reserves for the West Indies’ tour of England in 2020 after an impressive domestic season in 2019-20.
Though his maiden hundred came while batting at No. 8, Joshua Da Silva is an able batter. He pitched his case for inclusion in the main squad in England with scores of 133 not out and 56 not out in West Indies’ second intra-squad warm-up game and was given a chance to impress in the third Test, coming on as a substitute after an injury to Shane Dowrich. He was picked by St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the CPL draft ahead of the 2020 season.
