Ricardo Powell (born December 18, 1978 in Jamaica) is the youngest West Indian to score an ODI century. He has made 2,000 ODI runs at a strike rate of 98, which is the highest strike rate of a West Indian player with more than 1000 ODI runs, and has also emulated Gordon Greenidge by hitting 8 sixes in an ODI innings against India in 1999 at Singapore - a West Indian ODI record. He also hit seven sixes in another ODI against India at Toronto that same year. In total, he has hit 75 sixes in 100 ODI innings, a ratio equal to that of Viv Richards.

Powell currently plays for Trinidad and Tobago in regional competitions.
