Facts and Career Highlights

Spotted in the nets by Brian Lara, Edwards was fast-tracked to Test cricket after just one first-class game and took 5/36 on debut against Sri Lanka. He was part of West Indies’ 2012 T20 World Cup-winning squad and is regarded as one of the fastest bowlers of his era, with recorded speeds touching 157.7 km/h. His never-say-die attitude and ability to strike with the new ball make him a dangerous proposition even in legends cricket.
