Biography
Son of former first-class cricketer Albert Costayne Hayden Walsh, Hayden Walsh Junior is another in a long line of leg-break bowlers in its redemption years. All of 18 years of age, Walsh went through the trauma of his father’s early demise in a swimming pool accident, and put in the hard yards to make his way into the domestic scene in the 2011/12 season.
In his third match for the Leewards Islands, Walsh trumped the likes of Rayad Emrit and Jason Mohammed and was starting to become a threat in the domestic circuit. However, his numbers were never up to the mark for the national set-up where Devendra Bishoo had established himself as a capable leg-spinner and a decent lower-order batsman.
In the 2018 edition of the Caribbean Premier League, he was drafted in as a replacement for the Pakistan players who were forced to leave for national duty and made his debut for the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots under the leadership of Chris Gayle. Still rather young at 26, Walsh junior has the potential to break through into the national side in with the weight of performances, and the CPL is a fantastic platform to showcase his talents and catch the eye of the selectors.
