From a family with rich cricketing tradition. Decent outings. Looks crafty. Able to tie down Indians. Also a terrific fielder. Interesting prospect. Windies is slowly but surely rebuilding.

India vs West Indies: ‘My father is not Courtney Walsh,’ says leg-spinner Hayden Walsh
“People, my father is not Courtney Walsh,” is what Hayden Walsh has to keep reminding anyone who thinks that he is a progeny of one of West Indies’ pace bowling greats. However after an impactful performance against India, the 27-year-old leg-spinner is confident that he will now be able to carve an identity of his own, where deceptive googlies will be discussed more than lethal bouncers.
“I was playing in the Canada T20 league and someone called me Courtney Walsh (laughs). So yeah...People my father is not Courtney Walsh. But I guess now they will now find out who I am and who is my father,” Walsh, who had figures of 2/28, including wickets of Shivam Dube and Shreyas Iyer said after the match.
He foxed a rampaging Dube with a loopy googly outside the off-stump, a trait he has developed bowling to southpaws like Evin Lewis and Nicholas Pooran.
“I was bowling a lot to Evin (Lewis) and Nicholas (Pooran) in the nets. I was a bit confident coming in to bowl to him (Dube),” Walsh said.
He was visibly elated as he is finally finding his feet in international cricket.
“Yeah, it has been like a roller-coaster ride for me. As you can see, I have been working hard trying to find my way to the top into international cricket. Just to be here and perform in a game is just. I am over the moon,” he added.
He credited his consistent show in the Caribbean Premier League as one of the reasons for his success.
“I did well in the Caribbean Premier League and it obviously caught the selectors’ eye. I bowled a lot in the nets and it helped me here,” Walsh said.
He wouldn’t mind IPL scouts taking a note of his performances but the primary goal now will be to win the series.
“Yeah well, the main thing is more to win the series. The goal is just winning this series and to help the team do their best.”
To a question if winning the toss was crucial for the Windies, Walsh replied: “Yeah, I think the toss as you saw in Hyderabad, it was very important because of the dew factor. I don’t think dew was much of a factor tonight. “But knowing that we were going to bowl first and we have such a strong bowling team. Once we do well, we would be able to restrict them to a good total.”

I have seen him play for USA before where he used to play as a batting all rounder. He is a good batsmen as well.

I am confused now, OP mentioned he comes from rich cifcketing family so I assumed he's related to Courtney Walsh, but the article in 2nd post dismisses that.
So is he realted to anyone or just rumours and speculation about him being related to Courtney going around?

That is what Bishop told in the commentary. I think his father is a popular first class cricketer. Uncle is a cricketer too. His brother is a sprinter.

Yes. His father (Hayden Walsh sr.) and uncle were FC cricketers.

Hayden Walsh Jr - USA's loss, WI gain
What a bowler he has turned out to be for WI. For USA, he was a middle order batsmen who rarely bowled but now he has become a full fledged leg spinner and he has really impressed in his outings so far. Definitely on the plane to UAE, my question is that if WI can do that, why can't Pakistan? just poach Pakistan origin players from the UK, smaller cricket countries.
