Alick Athanaze is the next big thing in West Indian cricket!

His maiden Test fifty off just 67 balls in the second Test against a strong England team is a testament to his skill and potential.

He's sure to make a significant impact playing for teams like Mumbai Indians, MI Cape Town, Northern Superchargers, and others in the future
