Profile
A powerful ball-striker from Jamaica, Rovman Powell specialises in the limited-overs formats and has also made a name for himself with his leadership abilities. With extensive captaincy experience in domestic tournaments and T20 leagues, he earned the honour of being named the T20I captain for West Indies in 2023.
Raised in Kingston by his mother, Powell's career gained pace when he made his List-A debut at the start of 2015 and was named Man of the Match in his very first game. Just a little over a year later, he got the national call when he was selected for the ODI tri-series in Zimbabwe. Known for his big hitting, he played his first T20I against Pakistan at Bridgetown in 2017. Apart from his batting prowess, Powell also occasionally bowls medium-pace.
Powell played a key role in Jamaica's journey to the final in 2016-17 Regional Super50 competition and he was thereafter picked by Jamaica Tallawahs in the 6th round of the 2017 CPL player draft. He was then appointed the captain of Jamaica and went on to lead them to a Super50 title in 2022. It was a year where he enjoyed a purple patch, scoring his first T20I hundred which came against England at home, and backed that up with fifties in India and against Bangladesh in the following months. He also led the Tallawahs to a CPL title later in the same year. After leading the West Indies on occasion, Powell was appointed as the full-time T20I captain in 2023 with Nicholas Pooran stepping down. But while his stocks rose in the shortest format, his career never quite took off in ODI cricket due to poor performances.
Like a lot of his West Indian colleagues, Powell spends the majority of the year flying around the globe and plying his trade in various T20 leagues where he's found great success. Powell was initially bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018 but he didn't feature in a game. In 2022, the Delhi Capitals roped Powell in for INR 2.8 crores after a string of impressive performances across different T20 leagues. He got the opportunity to play every game for the franchise that year and had a decent season with some quickfire knocks in the middle order. But he couldn't replicate those performances for his new franchise - Rajasthan Royals - in 2024.
