Amir Jan­goo’s out­stand­ing per­for­mances for the West In­dies made him the Trinidad and To­ba­go Crick­et Board’s (TTCB) In­ter­na­tion­al Play­er of the Year at the board’s an­nu­al na­tion­al awards cer­e­mo­ny, which was held at the Den­nis P. Ramd­han Com­plex in Mc Bean, Cou­va, on Wednes­day evening.

Jan­goo en­joyed a pro­lif­ic year on the in­ter­na­tion­al stage, high­light­ed by a mag­nif­i­cent 233 in the first Test match against Sri Lan­ka in Ju­ly, his maid­en hun­dred in the for­mat. The match-sav­ing knock formed part of a 401-run sixth-wick­et part­ner­ship with cap­tain Ros­ton Chase, the largest in Test crick­et his­to­ry.

Dur­ing the sec­ond ODI against In­dia on Sep­tem­ber 30, 2026, Jan­goo hit a 70-ball cen­tu­ry, which was his sec­ond in the for­mat, even­tu­al­ly scor­ing a ca­reer-high 114, as the West In­dies put on a team record 405 in the first in­nings.

In five ODIs dur­ing the 2026 cal­en­dar year, Jan­goo scored one cen­tu­ry and three half-cen­turies in five match­es at an im­pres­sive av­er­age of 78. In the longer for­mat, he amassed 306 runs from six in­nings while av­er­ag­ing 51.

The left-hand­ed bats­man and part-time wick­et-keep­er was un­able to at­tend the cer­e­mo­ny, as he is cur­rent­ly in In­dia with the West In­dies T20 team.

Wednes­day’s cer­e­mo­ny cel­e­brat­ed the achieve­ments of play­ers across the in­ter­na­tion­al, na­tion­al, club and youth lev­els, high­light­ing the depth of crick­et­ing tal­ent in Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Red Force cap­tain and wick­et-keep­er/bats­man Joshua Da Sil­va al­so missed the awards pre­sen­ta­tion af­ter be­ing named Na­tion­al Play­er of the Year. Da Sil­va played a lead­ing role in Trinidad and To­ba­go’s suc­cess­ful West In­dies Cham­pi­onship cam­paign, scor­ing 413 runs at an av­er­age of 59. His con­tri­bu­tion in­clud­ed a su­perb 220 against the Lee­ward Is­lands Hur­ri­canes, as the Red Force cap­tured their first re­gion­al first-class ti­tle in 20 years.

Da Sil­va’s per­for­mances al­so earned him a re­call to the West In­dies Test team in Ju­ly, and he is now on his way to Bangladesh for the up­com­ing two-match se­ries lat­er this month.

Ricky Jaipaul was an­oth­er ma­jor win­ner on the night, tak­ing home the TTCB Pre­mier­ship Play­er of the Year award af­ter claim­ing 77 wick­ets across all com­pe­ti­tions.

The left-arm spin­ner, who rep­re­sents Marchin Pa­tri­ots, en­joyed an out­stand­ing sea­son, help­ing his club cap­ture the 50-over ti­tle while con­tin­u­ing to trou­ble bats­men at the na­tion­al lev­el. His per­for­mances al­so earned him a re­call to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Red Force squad.

In the women’s cat­e­go­ry, Kar­ish­ma Ramharack was named In­ter­na­tion­al Play­er of the Year in recog­ni­tion of her con­tri­bu­tion to the West In­dies Women’s team, where she was in­stru­men­tal in help­ing the re­gion­al side reach the se­mi-fi­nals of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The spin­ner was al­so un­able to at­tend the cer­e­mo­ny.

Pow­er­gen women’s bowler, Le­an­dra Ramdeen, claimed the Women’s Pre­mier­ship Play­er of the Year award af­ter tak­ing 43 wick­ets dur­ing the sea­son.

Nu-Iron Queen’s Park Crick­et Club was named Club of the Year as the Tragerete Road team cap­tured the Pre­mier League Di­vi­sion I con­vinc­ing­ly, win­ning sev­en out of eight match­es, be­fore adding the T20 Fes­ti­val tro­phy to their cab­i­net.

Wednes­day night’s func­tion al­so recog­nised the con­tri­bu­tions of sev­er­al young crick­eters who con­tin­ued to make their mark in the do­mes­tic game. Saveer De­onar­ine was named Un­der-13 Crick­eter of the Year, while Ar­nal­do Prem­c­hand re­ceived the Un­der-15 award. Mick­hel Sookdeo was recog­nised as the Un­der-17 Crick­eter of the Year, and Bren­dan Boodoo took the Un­der-19 ho­n­our.

Spe­cial recog­ni­tion was al­so paid to Trinidad and To­ba­go Women’s Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion pres­i­dent Mar­jorie Thomas for her out­stand­ing con­tri­bu­tion to women’s crick­et in Trinidad and To­ba­go and the wider West In­dies over the past 25 years.

Thomas has played a sig­nif­i­cant role in de­vel­op­ing and pro­mot­ing the women’s game, help­ing to cre­ate op­por­tu­ni­ties for fe­male crick­eters to rep­re­sent their coun­try.
