Johnson Charles is a powerful wicketkeeper-batter from St Lucia who has been a mainstay in West Indies white-ball cricket for over a decade. The 37-year-old made his international debut in 2011 and has since established himself as a destructive top-order batter, particularly in T20 cricket where he has amassed over 8,400 runs across 333 appearances at a strike rate of 133.36, including four centuries. His T20I record includes a brilliant 118 against South Africa and 69 matches for the West Indies. Charles has been a globetrotter in franchise cricket, representing teams across the CPL, PSL, BPL, ILT20, and LPL, with notable stints at St Lucia Kings, Comilla Victorians, and Multan Sultans. He also featured in the IPL for Kolkata Knight Riders. Known for his aggressive strokeplay and ability to clear the ropes consistently—with over 420 sixes in T20 cricket—Charles remains one of the most experienced and reliable Caribbean batters in the shortest format.
