Ravendra Persaud

Ravendra Persaud’s journey from the verdant isles of the West Indies to the shimmering arenas of international cricket began at a young age. Born on the 8th of August, 1993, Persaud's affinity for the sport blossomed amidst the rich cricketing culture of his homeland. As a young boy, he was often seen emulating his idols, with an insatiable hunger to carve out his own identity in the cricketing world.

An allrounder by trade, Persaud’s rise through the ranks was both organic and meteoric. His debut at the professional level was not so much a surprise but rather an inevitable conclusion, given his consistent performances in domestic cricket. One of the defining seasons in his early career was when he played a pivotal role in his regional team’s victory at the prestigious Caribbean Championship, where his dexterity as a right-hand batsman and a slow-left-arm orthodox bowler shone brilliantly.

A hallmark of Persaud’s career has been his adaptability and flair in both batting and bowling.
