Biography

Young was born in

Cayman Brac airport, and he emigrated permanently in 1987, taking up a surveying job with the Caymanian government. Although he had played club cricket in both Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, Young later concentrated on umpiring, and in 1995 became the inaugural president of the Cayman Islands Cricket Umpires Association (CICUA).[citation needed] He relinquished the position in 2012.[1]

Having previously only umpired domestically, Young made his umpiring debut at an international tournament in 2000, standing in

2012 Under-19 World Cup in Australia.[4] Young has served on the 11-member ICC Associates and Affiliates Umpire Panel since 2011, and was most recently re-appointed in January 2015, as one of two representatives from the Americas region (alongside American umpire Sameer Bandekar).[5]

In October 2016 he was selected as one of the eight umpires to stand in matches in the 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Four tournament.[6]

In April 2022, Young stood in his first Twenty20 International (T20I) fixture as an on-field umpire, in the third match between the Cayman Islands and the Bahamas.[7]
