Career story

Jewel Andrew career and playing journey

Who is Jewel Andrew?

Jewel Andrew is a right-handed wicketkeeper-batter from Antigua and Barbuda. He represents West Indies in white-ball international cricket, plays regional cricket for Leeward Islands and joined Saint Lucia Kings for the 2026 Caribbean Premier League. Cricket West Indies lists him primarily as a middle-order batter and wicketkeeper.

His career moved unusually quickly. Andrew played List A cricket at 16, scored a century at the Under-19 World Cup at 17, became the youngest player in CPL history later that year and made his West Indies ODI debut before his eighteenth birthday. He remained eligible for the 2026 Under-19 World Cup after playing senior internationals.

The name is mapped through CWI player number 19315, his 7 December 2006 birth date and his Antiguan identity. That prevents his scorecards from being mixed with another Andrew and keeps his West Indies, Academy, Leewards and franchise records on one page.

How old is Jewel Andrew?

Jewel Andrew was 19 years old on 24 August 2026. He was born on 7 December 2006 in Antigua and Barbuda. Both Cricket West Indies and the ICC identify the same birth date and wicketkeeper-batter role.

His age is central to several records, but each record has a different date. He was 17 years and 266 days old on his CPL debut in August 2024. He was still 17 when he made his ODI debut on 26 October 2024, and he was 18 when he entered T20I cricket in July 2025.

The page gives an age review date because the number changes every birthday. The birth date is the stable identity fact; a franchise season or search result should never be used to calculate it without that date.

How did Jewel Andrew start playing cricket?

Andrew's documented pathway began at Young Masters Sports Club in Antigua. In a 2024 interview, his mother Veronique Hill said he was around four when he retrieved a ball hit beyond the boundary while watching his older brother Hillroy. The club coach invited him to join training the next day.

Hill told ESPNcricinfo that she took her sons to cricket to give them a constructive environment. Andrew later produced five successive centuries in a school competition and captained Leeward Islands at Under-15 level. Those details explain the long youth pathway behind what later looked like a sudden senior breakthrough.

The family story is included because it was reported directly with his mother's comments and relates to his cricket development. No assumption is made about other relatives, current residence or private family finances.

What did Jewel Andrew achieve at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup?

Andrew scored 130 from 96 balls against host nation South Africa in West Indies' opening match of the 2024 Under-19 World Cup. He arrived with the chase in trouble and, with Nathan Sealy, rebuilt from 73 for 5. The innings contained 14 fours and three sixes, but South Africa still won by 31 runs.

He followed the century with 64 not out against Scotland. West Indies had slipped to 45 for 3 and later lost a fifth wicket before Andrew and Nathan Edward added 91. Andrew finished the chase and received the Player of the Match award in a five-wicket victory.

Across the tournament he made 207 runs at an average of 69 and reached the ICC Player of the Tournament shortlist. Kwena Maphaka won the award, so Andrew's achievement is the shortlist place rather than the trophy. His youth ODI runs are not added to his senior List A aggregate.

Why was Jewel Andrew's 143 in Ireland important?

Andrew made 143 for West Indies Academy against Emerging Ireland at Bready on 12 June 2024. The scorecard records 12 fours and seven sixes, and his 101-run sixth-wicket partnership with Nyeem Young lifted the Academy to 278 for 8 after five wickets had fallen for 165.

Emerging Ireland chased 282 with one ball remaining, so the century did not produce a win. It nevertheless became Andrew's List A high score and the best individual score of the three-match one-day series. CWI's series table gives him 200 runs across four innings at an average of 50.

The 143 is a senior List A innings, unlike the 130 at the Under-19 World Cup. Keeping those classifications clear matters: both are major hundreds, but only the Ireland innings belongs in his official List A career total of 406 runs.

How did Jewel Andrew make CPL history in 2024?

Andrew made his Twenty20 and CPL debut for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons on 31 August 2024. At 17 years and 266 days, he became the youngest player to appear in the CPL. He marked the occasion with 50 not out from 30 balls, including one four and two sixes.

The innings also made him the second-youngest player to score a fifty in a major men's T20 league at that time. Andrew finished CPL 2024 with 128 runs from seven matches, a batting average of 25.60 and a high score of 50 not out, according to CWI's competition split.

A debut fifty did not guarantee a fixed batting position. He batted in different middle-order situations and remained a developing wicketkeeper-batter. The record is strongest when stated precisely—youngest CPL player and a fifty on debut—without predicting what his future career must become.

When did Jewel Andrew make his West Indies ODI debut?

Andrew made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka at Pallekele on 26 October 2024. West Indies won the rain-shortened match by eight wickets under the DLS method. He was in the playing XI but did not need to bat because Evin Lewis made an unbeaten 102 and Sherfane Rutherford finished on 50 not out.

At 17, Andrew became the youngest man to play ODI cricket for West Indies. The appearance record matters even without a batting innings: selection in the final XI created the cap, while the scorecard accurately records that he did not bat.

He later played two ODIs in England in 2025, scoring eight runs across two innings. The official CWI career snapshot therefore lists three ODI matches, two innings and eight runs. A small international sample should not be blended with his much larger domestic record.

How did Jewel Andrew score his first first-class century?

Andrew's maiden first-class century was 122 for Leeward Islands Hurricanes against Combined Campuses and Colleges in March 2025. He struck 12 fours and three sixes in a first innings of 425, then made 65 in the second innings as Leewards declared on 249 for 7.

Leeward Islands won by 373 runs. The result gives the hundred more context than the personal milestone alone: Andrew contributed in both innings of a dominant regional victory rather than making an isolated score in a drawn match.

His 2024/25 West Indies Championship season produced 476 runs from 13 innings at 39.66, with one century and four fifties. The current CWI career row through its reviewed cutoff lists 958 first-class runs, a high score of 122 and seven fifties.

When did Jewel Andrew make his T20I debut?

Cricket West Indies selected Andrew for his first T20I squad before the 2025 home series against Australia. He eventually debuted against Pakistan at Lauderhill on 31 July 2025 and scored 35 from 33 balls, which remains his highest T20I score in the current official table.

That appearance made him the youngest man to play a T20I for West Indies. He played three matches in the Pakistan series and later two against Nepal, taking his initial record to five matches and 78 runs. His current T20I batting average is 15.60 and his strike rate is 97.50.

Andrew returned to a West Indies squad for the June 2026 T20I series against Sri Lanka. Squad membership shows that he remained in the selection picture, but it is not counted as a match unless the official scorecard places him in the playing XI.

Why did Jewel Andrew return to the Under-19 World Cup in 2026?

Andrew was still age-eligible for the 2026 Under-19 World Cup despite already holding ODI and T20I caps. He and Joshua Dorne were the two returning members from West Indies' 2024 squad, giving the team senior and previous tournament experience.

He top-scored with 81 in a rain-abandoned warm-up against Ireland, then supported Tanez Francis with a run-a-ball 44 in the opening win over Tanzania. In the Super Six match against Australia, Andrew made another 44 before a yorker ended his innings as West Indies fell 22 runs short.

West Indies missed the semi-finals, but Andrew's second tournament was not a step backward. Youth eligibility and senior selection can overlap. The 2026 matches belong to the youth record and provide development context rather than extra senior ODI or List A appearances.

What are Jewel Andrew's current career statistics?

The Cricket West Indies player table reviewed on 24 August 2026 lists three ODIs, five T20Is, 18 first-class matches, 17 List A matches and 27 recognized T20 matches. These are separate format rows and should not be added together because ODIs are already part of List A cricket and T20Is are part of the overall T20 record.

His first-class line contains 958 runs at 29.03, one century and seven fifties. His List A line contains 406 runs at 27.06 and a high score of 143. The T20 row contains 503 runs at 21.86, two fifties and a high score of 58.

Andrew is a wicketkeeper-batter, not a bowling all-rounder. CWI records only four first-class deliveries and three List A deliveries. Cricket Australia lists right-arm medium as his style, but the tiny bowling sample does not change his primary role.

How did Jewel Andrew join Saint Lucia Kings?

Saint Lucia Kings added Andrew for CPL 2026 after his first two league seasons with Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. The move placed him in a squad containing other young Caribbean batters as well as experienced international players. His official player record maps the new franchise without erasing his Falcons appearances.

In a pre-season local warm-up, Andrew hit 68 from 30 balls. That innings is useful preparation context but is not included in his official T20 aggregate because it was not a CPL match. The distinction prevents warm-up scores from inflating career totals.

Andrew scored 58 from 42 balls against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in his second Kings appearance, adding 82 with Kamil Pooran. Saint Lucia made 155 for 8 and lost by five wickets, so the fifty was a strong personal innings in a defeat rather than a match-winning claim.

What does Jewel Andrew's CPL 2026 start show?

CWI's reviewed competition split lists four Saint Lucia Kings appearances, 66 runs, one not out and a high score of 58. His average was 22.00 across that cutoff. The 58 supplied almost all of the early run total, which is why one innings should not be mistaken for settled season-long form.

The same table gives 350 career CPL runs from 19 matches and two fifties. That total combines his Antigua and Barbuda Falcons seasons with the first Saint Lucia matches. It is narrower than his overall T20 record, which also includes West Indies and Guyana Amazon Warriors appearances.

The season was still active when this profile was reviewed. Later scorecards can change matches, runs and averages, but they cannot change the historical facts that he made 58 against the Patriots or debuted for the Kings in 2026.

What are Jewel Andrew's main records and achievements?

Andrew's clearest records are age-based and scorecard-based. He became West Indies' youngest men's ODI player in October 2024 and youngest men's T20I player in July 2025. He was also the youngest CPL player when he debuted at 17 years and 266 days.

His major innings are 130 at the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, 143 for West Indies Academy in Ireland, 122 for Leeward Islands in the West Indies Championship and 58 for Saint Lucia Kings in CPL 2026. Each score belongs to a different level or format and is labelled accordingly.

He was shortlisted for the 2024 Under-19 World Cup Player of the Tournament award after scoring 207 runs at 69. The shortlist is formal recognition, but it is not an award win. Separating records, milestones and award outcomes keeps the achievement list accurate.

What is known about Jewel Andrew's salary and net worth?

No audited financial statement or authoritative public contract document reviewed for this biography establishes Andrew's salary, total career earnings or net worth. Team selection confirms professional opportunities, but it does not reveal his take-home income.

A CPL contract may involve a draft category, match terms, bonuses or private arrangements. None of those can safely be converted into net worth, especially without tax, endorsement and personal financial information. Generic biography sites that publish an exact figure without primary documentation are not reliable evidence.

The accurate conclusion is limited: Andrew has played senior international, regional and franchise cricket, while his personal wealth and full compensation remain private. No estimate is added simply because people search for it.

What is known about Jewel Andrew's family and relationships?

Andrew has publicly discussed his cricket upbringing through reporting that includes his mother, Veronique Hill, and older brother, Hillroy. His mother described taking both sons to Young Masters Sports Club, where Jewel first joined organized training as a small child.

That is the relevant, documented family context. Reliable sources reviewed for this biography do not confirm a spouse, girlfriend or children, and the absence of a public statement does not prove any relationship status. This page therefore does not assign one.

Private addresses, contact details, family wealth and rumours are outside a cricket profile. Personal information is included only where a named source placed it on record and it explains his development as a player.

What should readers watch next in Jewel Andrew's career?

Andrew's next challenge is converting exceptional early milestones into repeatable senior output. The 143, first-class 122 and CPL fifties demonstrate scoring range, while the ODI and T20I aggregates remain small after three and five matches respectively.

Wicketkeeping opportunities also matter. Some teams can select another keeper in the same XI, so a playing appearance does not always mean Andrew kept wicket. Future scorecards should be used to separate batting, catches and stumpings rather than assuming the role from his profile label.

No senior West Indies place should be treated as permanent at 19. The useful indicators are official squad selections, actual playing XIs, current format totals and performances against senior attacks—not predictions based on his age-group reputation.
