Brandon King is a powerful right-handed top-order batter from Jamaica who unlocked his full potential after a promotion to the opening role in the Caribbean Premier League. The 31-year-old from Kingston began his career as a solid middle-order batter for Jamaica before a switch to Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2019 proved transformative, with coach Johan Botha spotting his potential and moving him up the order. King responded in spectacular fashion, smashing 496 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 149, including an unbeaten 132 against Barbados Tridents—then the highest individual score in CPL history. That breakthrough earned him a call-up to the West Indies white-ball side, and despite an initial dip in form that saw him dropped in late 2020, he fought his way back with impressive performances against Pakistan, England, and the Netherlands. A consistent performer across global T20 leagues, King has represented franchises in the IPL, CPL, BPL, PSL, and ILT20, establishing himself as a sought-after power-hitter at the top of the order.
