Jerome Everton Taylor (born 22 June 1984) is a Jamaican cricketer who has played for the West Indies. In July 2016, he announced his retirement from Test cricket after giving 'formal notification' of his decision to retire.[1] However, in April 2017, he announced the end of his retirement, making himself available for the West Indies squad for their Test series against Pakistan.[2]

Early playing career[]

After playing just one match for Jamaica, Taylor was called into the West Indian series for the final match against Sri Lanka in 2003. Taylor had been named the most promising fast bowler of the Carib Beer series of 2003, after picking up 21 wickets for a 20.14 run average, which included a haul of 8 for 59, Taylor's first ever ten-wicket match haul.

Taylor established himself in the ODI side with wickets during 2006, and was West Indies' leading wicket-taker during the DLF Cup in Malaysia, with eight wickets. He was selected for the 2006 Champions Trophy and after four wickets in the preliminary games against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

International career[]

Taylor made his ODI debut in 2003. Taylor took a hat-trick in West Indies' opening group game of the 2006 Champions Trophy against Australia, becoming the first West Indian to achieve such a feat in an ODI.[3] With 21 runs required and 14 balls remaining, Taylor had Michael Hussey (then ranked as the world's best ODI batsman[4]) bowled for 13, then dismissed Brett Lee lbw on the next ball. That was the end of the over, but he returned to bowl the final over, bowling Brad Hogg to complete the hat-trick. Earlier, Taylor had bowled Ricky Ponting, the fourth-ranked batsman in the world, for 1, and he finished with four for 49, at the time his second-best ODI career figures.[5]

During the 2006 ICC Champions Trophy, Taylor picked up 13 wickets including the hat-trick against Australia and was eventually the leading wicket taker in that tournament.[6] He still holds the record for taking the most number of wickets in a single ICC Champions Trophy tournament (13 in the 2013 Champions Trophy). This record was later equalled by Pakistan's Hasan Ali who took 13 wickets in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy.[7]

And in the Taylor's batting aspect of the game continues to develop for the better. Many believe he has the ability to develop into a useful allrounder.[8] This prospect was enhanced when Taylor scored his first ever First-class hundred, 106 batting at number 8 against New Zealand, in the Dunedin Test Match of December 2008 series.[9]

Taylor along with Dwayne Bravo set the record for the highest ever 9th wicket partnership in T20I history (66).[10][11][12]
