Career

[edit]

From Berbice, Permaul has played his club cricket with Community Centre Cricket Club since 2002.[2] He made his first-class cricket debut for Guyana in the Regional Four Day Competition in 2006/07.[2] In 2012 he captained the West Indies A team in a series at home against India A.[2]

After being released at the end of the 2016 Caribbean Premier League season, he was reselected by the Guyana Amazon Warriors for the 2017 edition; he was picked in the 9th round of the draft.[3]

In March 2017, he was named in the West Indies squad for the Twenty20 International (T20I) series against Pakistan.[4]

In December 2017, he took his 25th five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, bowling for Guyana against the Leeward Islands in the 2017–18 Regional Four Day Competition.[5] He finished the tournament as the leading wicket-taker, with 50 dismissals from 10 matches.[6]

In March 2018, he was named in the West Indies squad for their Twenty20 International (T20I) series against Pakistan.[7] He made his T20I debut for the West Indies against Pakistan on 1 April 2018.[8] However, he injured himself during the match and was ruled out of the West Indies squad for the remaining two fixtures.[9]

In October 2019, he was named in Guyana's squad for the 2019–20 Regional Super50 tournament.[10] In February 2020, in the 2019–20 West Indies Championship fixture against Jamaica, Permaul took 15 wickets for 77 runs in the match.[11] These were the second-best match figures in a domestic first-class match in the West Indies since 1966.[12] He was the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, with fifty dismissals in eight matches.[13]

In July 2020, he was named in the Jamaica Tallawahs squad for the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.[14][15]
