Devon Cuthbert Thomas (born 12 November 1989) is a West Indian cricketer from Antigua.

Career

Domestic

On 5 July 2009 he scored his maiden first class century playing for the Windies A against

Jamaica Scorpions for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He eventually returned playing for the Leewards soon thereafter.[3][4] Thomas was the leading run-scorer for the Leeward Islands in the 2018–19 Regional Super50 tournament, with 238 runs in eight matches.[5] He was also the 2nd highest run-scorer for the team[6] in the 2018-19 Regional Four Day Competition, and 4th highest scorer in the competition as a whole.[7] In 2016, he was drafted by the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.[8] Since then, he has regularly played for them in the Caribbean Premier League
.

In October 2019, he was named as the captain of the Leeward Islands for the

2021 T10 League.[11][12] In July 2022, Thomas joined CPL side Barbados Royals for the upcoming season of the said tournament.[13]

International

A right-hand batsman and

medium pace bowling.[15]

Thomas is one of three wicket-keepers to have taken wickets in a

Bangladesh cricket team in the 2nd ODI of the 3 match ODI series at Windsor Park (Dominica). He picked up the wickets of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah, but could not prevent West Indies from losing the game.[17]

In June 2022, he was named in the West Indies' Test squad for their series against Bangladesh.[18] He would go on to make his Test debut against Australia at Adelaide later that year, on 8 December.[19]

On 23 May 2023, the International Cricket Council (ICC) provisionally suspended Thomas and charged him on seven counts under its anti-corruption code, the most serious allegation being an attempt to fix a match in the 2021 Lanka Premier League.[20][21]
