Kemar Andre Jamal Roach (born 30 June 1988) is a Barbadian right-handed fast-medium bowler who plays international cricket for the West Indies cricket team. A 5-foot-8-inch (1.73 m) bowler, Roach initially reached speeds of over 90 mph on regular occasions. After some time he adapted his bowling style, due to injuries and diminished pace, to encourage augmented swing and movement of the ball. He triumphantly claimed the BBL02 title with the Brisbane Heat and was an essential part of the Surrey side which eventually won the 2022 County Championship title. During 2012 he became the first West Indies bowler to take ten wickets in a Test since 2005. Roach has since picked up over 300 wickets in Tests and over 100 ODI wickets for the Windies. He has also featured for Barbados, Deccan Chargers, Worcestershire along with CPL teams Antigua Hawksbills, St Lucia Zouks and Jamaica Tallawahs in his cricketing career. Roach made history for the West Indies as he was the first West Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in a Cricket World Cup, which he did against the Netherlands during the 2011 tournament.
