Wicketkeeper
Age: 28 years
Joshua Da Silva is a technically sound wicketkeeper-batsman who has become a regular feature in the West Indies Test team since making his debut in December 2020 against New Zealand. Of Portuguese-Canadian and Trinidadian descent, Da Silva is notably the first white player to represent West Indies since Brendon Nash.
He came into national reckoning after a standout domestic season in 2019–20, where he scored 507 runs at an average of 50.7, showcasing his temperament and consistency. His Test debut came under challenging circumstances, stepping in after regular keeper Shane Dowrich left the squad due to personal reasons.
Da Silva cemented his place in the side with his tidy glovework and dependable lower-order batting. His maiden Test century came in 2022 at Grenada — a crucial knock in a series-clinching win over England. While not yet a headline-grabber, he has been a steady and reliable performer in the longest format.
In T20s, Da Silva represents the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League, having joined the franchise in 2020.
A composed presence behind the stumps and a gritty contributor with the bat, Joshua Da Silva continues to be a key part of West Indies’ Test setup.
