Kirk Edwards was one player who showed a lot of promise from a very early stage. He was the vice captain of the West Indies U-19 team in the 2004 Youth World Cup. He was soon a regular member of the West Indies A team too. A string of good scores in 2009 and 2010 at the domestic level saw him being called up for the one day series against Sri Lanka in 2010 but it was postponed due to incessant rain. Edwards had to wait longer to make his debut. It came in the 2011 World Cup, when he replaced the injured Adrian Barath. He played only one game in the tournament, against India and was also named in the squad for the series against Pakistan and India soon after.
