Son of former first-class cricketer Albert Costayne Hayden Walsh, Hayden Walsh Junior is another in a long line of leg-break bowlers in its redemption years. All of 18 years of age, Walsh went through the trauma of his father’s early demise in a swimming pool accident, and put in the hard yards to make his way into the domestic scene in the 2011/12 season.
In his third match for the Leewards Islands, Walsh trumped the likes of Rayad Emrit and Jason Mohammed and was starting to become a threat in the domestic circuit. However, his numbers were never up to the mark for the national set-up where Devendra Bishoo had established himself as a capable leg-spinner and a decent lower-order batsman.
