Sunil Walford Ambris (born 23 March 1993) is a

St Lucia Zouks franchise in the Caribbean Premier League
(CPL). He was the first player to be dismissed hit-wicket twice in consecutive Tests and the first to be dismissed hit-wicket on test debut.

Domestic career

At the

2013–14 Regional Four Day Competition, when he played for the Windward Islands against Guyana.[2] In his first innings, Ambris scored 114 runs from 200 balls, eventually being named man of the match.[3] He finished his debut season with 468 runs from six matches, making him the Windwards' leading run-scorer behind Devon Smith.[4]

In March 2017, during the

Leeward Islands.[5] In the 2016–17 Regional Super50, he was the top run-scorer for the Windward Islands, scoring more than double the number of runs of any of his teammates, with 423 in total.[6]

In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded him a development contract for the 2018–19 season.[7][8]

International career

Ambris played for the West Indies under-19s at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup in Australia.[9] Against Papua New Guinea, he scored 91 from 43 balls, including nine fours and seven sixes.[10]

In June 2017, he was added to the West Indies One Day International (ODI) squad, ahead of the third match against India, but he did not play.[11] He made his ODI debut for the West Indies against England on 29 September 2017, scoring an unbeaten 38 from 27 balls.[12]

In November 2017, he was named in the West Indies Test squad for their series against New Zealand.[13] He made his Test debut for the West Indies against New Zealand on 1 December 2017 and became the sixth batsmen to be out hit wicket off the first ball, and the first to be dismissed in this manner on Test debut.[14][15] In the second innings, he opened his account with a six and became only the sixth batsman in Test cricket to do so.[16] On 10 December 2017, he got out hit wicket again in the second innings in the second Test against New Zealand[17] and became the first player to be dismissed hit-wicket twice in consecutive Tests.[18] In the second innings, he retired hurt (not out) after he fractured his forearm.[citation needed]

In May 2019, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named him as one of ten reserve players in the West Indies' squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[19][20] On 24 June 2019, Ambris was added to the West Indies's squad, after Andre Russell was ruled out of the team with a knee injury.[21]

In June 2020, Ambris was named as one of eleven reserve players in the West Indies' Test squad, for their series against England.[22] The Test series was originally scheduled to start in May 2020, but was moved back to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[23]
