Amit Sheldon Jaggernauth (born 16 November 1983 in Trinidad) is a West Indian cricketer who plays for Trinidad and Tobago. He is primarily an off spin bowler. He mainly plays first-class cricket, having made only two List A cricket appearances for Trinidad and Tobago to date. Jaggernauth has also played for sussex side Lewes Priory Cricket Club.
Career
In recent years, Jaggernauth has been one of the most consistent wicket-takers in the Carib Beer Cup, the West Indies domestic first-class competition. He made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago in 2002/03 and has since taken nearly 150 wickets at an average of 22.08.[1] Despite this consistency, he was overlooked by the West Indies selectors for several years as they chose to stick with a four-pronged pace attack and part-time spinners.[2] However, in March 2008, he was finally called up to the West Indies Test squad for the series against Sri Lanka although he missed out on a place in the team for the first Test, with the selectors opting for the left arm orthodox spinner Sulieman Benn instead. He had to wait until 22 May 2008 for his test debut which took place at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica against Australia. His first test wicket was Michael Hussey which came in the second session of Day 1 of the test.
