Shannon Gabriel is one of the West Indies’ fastest and most hostile pace bowlers, recognized for his raw speed and aggressive style. Wearing jersey number 90, Gabriel made his Test debut in 2012 and has since become a cornerstone of West Indies’ red-ball attack. Standing tall and bowling at speeds exceeding 145 km/h, he consistently troubles batters with bounce, seam movement, and short-pitched deliveries. Gabriel's standout year came in 2018 when he took 37 Test wickets, including a career-best 13-wicket match haul against Sri Lanka. Although injuries have occasionally slowed him down, he remains a match-winner in favorable bowling conditions. While his role in limited-overs cricket has been limited, Gabriel's impact in Tests is undeniable. He forms a lethal new-ball partnership with Kemar Roach, particularly effective on Caribbean and English surfaces. Off the field, Gabriel is known for his quiet resilience and determination to overcome fitness challenges. His fiery pace and aggressive demeanor make him a vital part of West Indies’ bowling arsenal, especially in the longer format.
