Ackeem Auguste: Age, Career Stats, 208* and West Indies Rise

Ackeem Auguste is a 22-year-old left-handed batter from Castries, Saint Lucia, who has progressed from West Indies Under-19 captain to senior ODI and T20I cricket. Cricket West Indies recorded 205 runs from his first nine ODIs and 165 runs from ten T20Is through 23 August 2026. His wider record also includes 1,261 first-class runs and 742 List A runs. Two innings show different sides of his game: a record 208 not out from 133 balls for Saint Lucia in the 2025 Windward Islands Super50 final, and a 19-ball CPL fifty for Saint Lucia Kings during a successful chase later that month. His route was interrupted by a twisted intestine and emergency surgery before the 2026 T20 World Cup, but he returned to domestic and international cricket in 2026.

Career story

Ackeem Auguste career and playing journey

Who is Ackeem Auguste?

Ackeem Wayne Jarrell Auguste is a left-handed Saint Lucian batter who plays international cricket for West Indies and franchise cricket for Saint Lucia Kings. Cricket West Indies lists his birthplace as Castries and his date of birth as 12 September 2003. The same record classifies him as a batter, with right-arm leg break as his secondary skill.

Auguste's career has moved through Saint Lucia age-group cricket, the West Indies Under-19 side, West Indies Academy, Windward Islands and the senior West Indies white-ball teams. Those levels matter because a performance for Saint Lucia or the Academy does not count as a senior international appearance. His current senior aggregates below use the format boundaries published by CWI.

How old is Ackeem Auguste?

Auguste was 22 years old on 23 August 2026. He turns 23 on 12 September 2026. Stating the date with the age avoids the common problem of an undated biography continuing to show an old number after a birthday.

He was still 21 when he produced his breakthrough 2025 CPL innings and his double-century in the Windward Islands Super50 final. He was 22 by the time he made his senior ODI debut later in 2025 and returned from surgery during the 2026 regional season.

What is Ackeem Auguste's role?

Auguste is a specialist top-order batter. He bats left-handed and is normally used in the first four positions, where his job can range from absorbing early pressure to accelerating against spin. His CWI record also lists right-arm leg break, but the small bowling workload does not support describing him as an all-rounder.

His strongest innings have come in different tempos. The 208* showed that he could build a long 50-over innings and then dominate, while the rapid CPL fifty showed boundary power under a steep required rate. His international record remains young enough that neither innings should be treated as a guarantee of a fixed role in every West Indies lineup.

How did his Under-19 pathway begin?

Cricket West Indies named Auguste captain for the Rising Stars Under-19 tour of England in 2021 after a productive high-performance camp. In one camp match he made 127 from 91 balls, following a century in the previous game. CWI described the camp as preparation for the 2022 Under-19 World Cup hosted in the Caribbean.

The England tour supplied experience in unfamiliar conditions before the global tournament. Captaincy at that stage was more than an age-group label: it put Auguste in charge of a squad that included future senior and franchise players. It did not, however, make those youth appearances part of his List A or ODI totals.

What did he do at the 2022 Under-19 World Cup?

Auguste captained West Indies at the 2022 ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup. In the opening match against Australia, West Indies slipped to 12/3 before he made 57 from 67 balls. ICC's report identified him as the team's top scorer in a total of 169, although Australia completed the chase and won by six wickets.

The innings matters because it came with the top order already under pressure and against the eventual champions. It also shows why the bare number needs the result beside it: 57 was a stabilising captain's innings, not a match-winning score. The tournament was a development milestone rather than evidence of a senior international record.

How did Auguste develop in regional cricket?

West Indies Academy gave Auguste sustained senior competition after the Under-19 stage. CWI's current statistical record credits the Academy with most of his early first-class and List A work. A 2024 tour of Ireland included two fifties and a high score of 93, while the 2025 series against Sri Lanka Emerging Players added three more fifties across six innings.

That pathway exposed him to multi-day cricket and 50-over chases without pretending that Academy matches were senior West Indies caps. He later joined Windward Islands in the West Indies Championship, where two scores in the nineties after surgery helped demonstrate that his recovery had progressed far enough for demanding four-day cricket.

What are Ackeem Auguste's first-class stats?

Cricket West Indies listed 1,261 runs from 26 first-class matches through the 23 August 2026 review. He had batted 47 times, with one not-out, a high score of 95, eight fifties and an average of 27.41. The record also listed 24 catches and two wickets from occasional leg-spin.

The absence of a first-class hundred is notable because he had passed 90 several times. It does not erase the value of those innings, but it defines the next red-ball step more accurately than calling him a proven century-maker. His average combines Academy, Windward Islands and West Indies Select XI matches within the recognized first-class category.

What are his List A career stats?

CWI recorded 742 runs from 33 List A matches, including three not-outs, three fifties and a high score of 81. His average was 24.73. The total includes recognized 50-over matches for West Indies Academy and his first nine ODIs for West Indies, so those ODI runs must not be added to 742 a second time.

The 208* for Saint Lucia is discussed separately because the Windward Islands Super50 tournament did not change the CWI List A aggregate shown on his player page. That distinction is useful: the innings was genuine and record-setting within its competition, but it belongs to a different statistical scope from his recognized List A career row.

How did Ackeem Auguste score 208 not out?

Auguste made 208 not out from 133 balls for Saint Lucia against Dominica in the 2025 Windward Islands Super50 final at Daren Sammy Cricket Ground. Windwards Cricket reported it as the highest individual score in the tournament's history. Saint Lucia reached 427/9 and won the final by 182 runs.

The innings contained sustained scoring rather than a short late cameo. Local reporting recorded 16 fours and 14 sixes, meaning 148 of the 208 runs came in boundaries. Windwards Cricket also named him tournament MVP and leading run-scorer. The competition's official report listed 346 runs, while later local reporting listed 348; this page keeps the uncontested final score and does not merge the conflicting tournament aggregate.

Why was the 19-ball CPL fifty important?

Later in August 2025, Auguste produced his first CPL half-century during Saint Lucia Kings' chase of 203 against Guyana Amazon Warriors. He reached fifty in 19 balls and finished with 73, providing the acceleration required in the largest successful chase then recorded by the Kings.

The innings changed his short-format baseline. Before it, his CPL high score had been 35; afterward, CWI's career row showed a T20 high score of 73. One explosive chase does not establish long-term consistency, but it demonstrated that he could attack pace and spin immediately rather than only build through low-risk accumulation.

What are his CPL career numbers?

CWI's current tournament summary listed 485 runs from 32 CPL matches through his first five appearances of the 2026 season. He had batted 26 times, remained not out three times, averaged 21.08 and recorded three fifties with a high score of 73.

The 2025 season supplied 229 runs from 12 matches at an average of 25.44 and a strike rate represented by CWI as 9.67 runs per over. The following season was still active at the review date, so a five-match 2026 snapshot should not be described as a completed campaign or used to predict his final total.

When did Ackeem Auguste enter international cricket?

West Indies first selected Auguste for the September 2025 T20I series against Nepal in the United Arab Emirates. ICC described him as one of five uncapped players in the squad. He scored 73 runs across the three-match series, including an unbeaten 41, and remained in the white-ball group for Bangladesh.

CWI then gave him a maiden ODI call-up for the Bangladesh tour as a replacement for the injured Evin Lewis. The selection connected his Under-19 and Academy development to senior cricket, but it did not guarantee a permanent place. Subsequent squads and scorecards, rather than the original call-up, determine his current appearance totals.

What are Ackeem Auguste's ODI stats?

The CWI record through 23 August 2026 showed nine ODIs, nine innings and 205 runs. His highest score was 38 and his average was 22.77. The first four matches produced 56 runs; five ODIs against New Zealand in 2026 then brought 149 runs at 29.80, including the career-best 38.

The 149 runs from five ODIs are a series-specific figure, not a separate career total. Adding them to 205 would count those innings twice. The early ODI record shows repeated starts without a fifty, which leaves conversion into a longer innings as the clearest batting opportunity in his next international run.

What are Ackeem Auguste's T20I stats?

CWI listed ten T20Is, nine innings, one not-out and 165 runs. His average was 20.62, with one fifty and a high score of 50. He had faced 125 balls, and his boundary record contained 11 fours and 11 sixes.

The T20I fifty came in Bangladesh during the 2025/26 season. His first three matches against Nepal produced 73 runs, the Bangladesh series produced 67, and later appearances completed the 165-run career total. Those series numbers explain the progression but should not be compared directly with his CPL average because international and franchise competitions involve different teams and conditions.

Why did he miss the 2026 T20 World Cup?

Cricket West Indies reported that Auguste developed what first appeared to be stomach illness late in 2025. Doctors found a twisted intestine, and he required emergency surgery. The operation and recovery ruled him out of the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.

That account comes from CWI's interview with the player and supplies the necessary medical boundary. It supports the surgery, recovery period and missed tournament, but it does not justify guessing a more detailed diagnosis, prognosis or continuing health problem. CWI reported a gradual return to solid food, movement, training and then competitive cricket.

How did Ackeem Auguste return after surgery?

Auguste returned first in an Antigua club fixture and then for Windward Islands in the 2026 West Indies Championship. CWI highlighted two scores in the nineties during that regional comeback. The current first-class record shows a 2026 season contribution of 197 runs from six innings, with a high score of 95.

He then returned to the West Indies T20I group for the June series against Sri Lanka and joined the ODI squad for later assignments. Selection confirmed availability at those points, while the match record supplies the actual runs. Recovery should therefore be described through dated appearances rather than a broad claim that every physical issue had permanently ended.

What does the 2026 New Zealand ODI series show?

Across five ODIs against New Zealand in 2026, Auguste scored 149 runs at 29.80. His highest score was 38, so the aggregate came through several contributions rather than one dominant innings. He faced 186 balls and hit 15 fours and four sixes in the series.

That run improved his ODI career from 56 runs in four matches to 205 in nine. It also exposed the remaining gap: he reached double figures often enough to build a series total but did not convert a start into a first international fifty. The evidence supports progress and opportunity, not a claim that he had already secured a permanent top-order position.

Which teams has Ackeem Auguste represented?

CWI lists West Indies, West Indies Under-19s, West Indies Academy, Windward Islands, Saint Lucia Kings, Windward Islands Infernos and West Indies Select XI among Auguste's teams. MI Emirates also named him in its squad. Each team belongs to a different competition or stage of his career.

Saint Lucia Kings is his current This profile team because the 2026 CPL roster and match records place him in the active squad. A roster does not prove an appearance in every match, and a previous overseas squad listing does not automatically establish a current contract. Season-specific team claims remain tied to their dates.

What should readers watch next?

For West Indies, the immediate batting question is conversion. Auguste's first nine ODIs contained 205 runs and a high score of 38, while ten T20Is contained one fifty. More innings will show whether he can turn promising starts into match-defining senior scores against varied attacks.

In regional cricket, a first-class hundred remains an obvious milestone after a high score of 95 and several scores in the nineties. In the CPL, the 73 and two other fifties show his ceiling, while the career average just above 21 shows the need for repeatable contributions. These are evidence-based development markers, not forecasts.

How should his records be compared?

International rows sit inside broader domestic classifications: ODIs are included in List A cricket, and T20Is are included in the overall T20 category. The 205 ODI runs are therefore already part of the 742 List A runs, while the 165 T20I runs sit within the overall short-format record.

The Windward Islands Super50 double-century uses a separate competition scope and does not appear in the recognized List A aggregate on CWI's player page. Keeping these boundaries visible prevents a spectacular innings from being lost while also preventing it from being added to the wrong career total.

CWI reported that a twisted intestine required emergency surgery, which ruled him out before the tournament.

Which CPL team does he play for?

He plays for Saint Lucia Kings and had made five appearances in the active 2026 season through 17 August.

Did his 208* count as a List A innings?

CWI's career record did not add the Windward Islands Super50 innings to his recognized List A aggregate, so the competition performance is kept separate.

Conclusion

Ackeem Auguste's career already contains three distinct stages: Under-19 leadership, regional and CPL development, and senior West Indies white-ball cricket. The 208* and 19-ball fifty show his scoring range, while the current ODI and first-class records show that converting starts into more long innings remains his next measurable challenge.

His 2026 return matters as much as any aggregate. Emergency surgery removed a World Cup opportunity, but he worked back through club and regional cricket before rejoining West Indies squads. Future assessment should follow completed innings and clearly dated format totals rather than treating one spectacular performance or one selection as the whole story.
