Akeem Jordan

Akeem Jordan is a West Indies cricketer. His primary role is fast-bowling with batting also being an added skill he is working on.

Jordan started as an opening batter in school cricket but progressed into becoming a pacer eventually. 

He made his List-A debut while playing for Combined Campuses and Colleges in the Super50 Cup 2018-19. He took a fifer in the semi-final of the tournament versus Trinidad and Tobago. CCC emerged as the winner by defeating Guyana in the final and Jordan happened to be the biggest find of the season, being his side’s third-highest wicket-taker with 16 scalps in eight innings.

A few months later, he plied his trade in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2019 for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and debuted in T20s.

Jordan again led his team with the ball, being their best bet in the Super50 Cup 2019-20, replicating a similar performance like the last season, bagging 16 wickets in eight matches.

He made his first-class debut for Barbados in the West Indies Championship 2021-22. In the next season, he took 40 wickets, the third-highest that year. It earned him his maiden Test call-up for the South Africa series. However, he did not get to debut.

In June 2023, the Barbadian donned the West Indies jersey for the first time, facing the UAE in an ODI series.

Jordan was a travelling reserve for the India Test series and joined the main squad for the red-ball assignment scheduled against Australia, being one of the seven uncapped players selected.
