Son of Jamaica
I grew up in a small town on the north coast of Jamaica, a place called Port Maria. Back then, it was six months football, six months cricket. My dad’s side of the family were cricket mad and Dad played a bit. There was a concrete strip in the backyard and we had kids on the road my age, so we played together. I started playing competitively in primary school. That section of Jamaica has a very strong history and culture of age-group cricket at school level, so I started playing in front of pretty big crowds when I was a kid because the whole town would come and watch us play in school competitions.
