STUMPSCOPEGLOBAL CRICKET COVERAGEGrenada · Opening Batter
Johann Jeremiah is a Grenadian left-handed opening batter who represents the Windward Islands system and Saint Lucia Kings. He made his List A debut in 2022, entered first-class cricket in 2023 and reached his first senior hundred with 107 for Combined Campuses and Colleges in April 2025. Cricket West Indies' current record lists 876 first-class runs, 353 List A runs and 13 T20 runs through 30 August 2026. His birth date requires care: CWI gives 12 February 1999, while the ESPNcricinfo-linked secondary record gives 2 December 1999, so this page follows the current official date while keeping the disagreement visible.

Career story
Johann Francis Jeremiah is a Grenadian opening batter who bats left-handed. His senior record spans Windward Islands, Combined Campuses and Colleges, West Indies Academy and Saint Lucia Kings.
He is best understood as a top-order batter, not an all-rounder. Cricket West Indies lists right-arm off-break as his bowling style, but its current senior career tables record no deliveries and no wickets in first-class, List A or T20 cricket.
Cricket West Indies currently lists Jeremiah as born on 12 February 1999, which made him 27 on 30 August 2026. The ESPNcricinfo-linked secondary record instead lists 2 December 1999.
The two dates refer to the same Johann Francis Jeremiah: the Grenadian left-handed batter with the same teams and career chronology. Because CWI is the governing body's current player record, this page uses 12 February, but the disagreement means readers should not be told that every established database agrees.
Jeremiah is from Grenada and developed through cricket in the Windward Islands. Grenada is part of the Windward Islands cricket structure, which explains why his regional senior appearances are recorded for the Windward Islands rather than a separate Grenada first-class team.
Public cricket records reviewed for this profile establish Grenada as his birthplace and cricket identity. They do not establish a more precise birthplace or current home address strongly enough to publish one, so the biography does not turn local associations into private-location claims.
Jeremiah is a left-handed opening batter. His job is to face the new ball, build an innings and give the middle order a platform across red-ball and limited-overs cricket.
CWI labels him an opening batsman and lists right-arm off-break bowling. The bowling description is a style field rather than evidence of a senior all-round role: the current tables show zero bowling innings, balls and wickets in all three classified formats.
Jeremiah's route into regional cricket began in the Windward Islands pathway. A 2019 regional tournament supplied one of the earliest documented signs of his batting potential: he led the competition with 198 runs in four matches.
The Vincentian's tournament report records a century against Dominica within that campaign. Those youth-level runs explain his progression, but they are not added to first-class or List A totals because age-group tournaments and senior classified matches have different statistical status.
Scoring 198 runs in four games made Jeremiah the leading batter in that Windward Islands competition. The century also showed that his early value was not limited to short cameos; he could occupy the crease and convert a start.
A youth tournament does not predict an automatic professional breakthrough. What it provided was a credible pathway marker before his senior debuts, followed later by selection for Combined Campuses and Colleges, Windward Islands and a CPL franchise.
Jeremiah made his List A debut on 12 November 2022 against Trinidad and Tobago. The appearance began a one-day record that had reached 16 matches by the current 2026 cutoff.
His first List A season produced five runs from one innings. The more meaningful step came in the following campaign, when regular opportunities for Combined Campuses and Colleges allowed him to turn a single debut appearance into two half-centuries and a career-best 82.
Jeremiah made 82 from 65 balls for Combined Campuses and Colleges against West Indies Academy in the 2023 Super50 Cup. It remains his highest List A score through 30 August 2026.
Cricket West Indies reported that he opened the innings and gave the chase momentum before a run-out ended his stay. CCC were dismissed for 289 and lost the match, so the 82 was a strong individual innings in defeat rather than a match-winning finish.
The 2023/24 Super50 campaign remains Jeremiah's most productive one-day season: 211 runs from six innings, one not-out, an average of 42.20 and two fifties. His 82 was the high score.
That season accounts for most of his current 353 List A runs. The next listed Super50 campaign brought 77 runs from five innings, showing why a career summary should preserve both the high point and the later decline rather than presenting one innings as a permanent level.
Jeremiah entered first-class cricket in the 2022/23 West Indies Championship, with the established chronology placing his debut against Jamaica on 15 March 2023. His opening season yielded 33 runs from four innings.
The modest start is useful context for his later growth. First-class development was not immediate: his average rose as he gained a regular role, reached 80 in 2024 and then produced a 495-run campaign for Combined Campuses and Colleges in 2025.
Jeremiah top-scored with 80 for Windward Islands against Jamaica at Sabina Park in February 2024. Windward Islands reached 341, taking a 189-run first-innings lead that shaped the match.
Cricket West Indies' day-two report placed the innings alongside lower-order support from Shamar Springer and Ryan John. Jamaica then set only 53 to win, making Jeremiah's first-innings contribution central to the nine-wicket result rather than an isolated score.
Jeremiah returned to make 22 not out as Windward Islands completed the target against Jamaica. He and Jeremy Solozano, unbeaten on 29, carried the side home after one early wicket.
The score was smaller than his 80 but served a different purpose. Finishing a chase without further damage converted the first-innings advantage into full match points and gave Jeremiah contributions at both the foundation and closing stages of the victory.
Across the 2023/24 first-class season, Jeremiah scored 287 runs from 12 innings at 28.70. His two fifties included the 80 at Sabina Park.
Those numbers marked clear progress from 33 runs in his debut season. They did not yet make him a finished first-class batter, but they established enough evidence for a larger responsibility with Combined Campuses and Colleges in the following championship.
Cricket West Indies named Jeremiah captain of Combined Campuses and Colleges for the 2025 West Indies Championship. The appointment placed a developing opener in charge of a squad containing players from several territories and educational programmes.
Captaincy is part of his 2025 senior record, not proof that he captains every team he represents. Windward Islands, West Indies Academy and Saint Lucia Kings have separate leadership structures and selection decisions.
Jeremiah scored 107 from 131 balls for Combined Campuses and Colleges against West Indies Academy in April 2025. It was his first first-class hundred and remains his senior career-high score.
The innings contained 11 fours and three sixes. It followed a first-innings 47, helping CCC declare their second innings at 395 for eight. West Indies Academy reached six for one when the match ended, so the contest was drawn rather than won by the century.
The 107 converted Jeremiah's earlier first-class fifties into a three-figure score during his strongest season. It demonstrated both accumulation and acceleration: 107 from 131 balls is notably quicker than the long defensive tempo often associated with regional four-day cricket.
The score should still be framed accurately. It was one hundred, not the start of a repeated century sequence, and it came for CCC against the Academy. Its value lies in being a genuine conversion milestone within a 495-run season.
Jeremiah scored 495 first-class runs in the 2024/25 season from 13 innings, averaging 38.07. He registered one hundred and three fifties, with 107 as the high score.
That campaign contributed more than half of his current 876 first-class runs. It raised his career average after two earlier seasons, while the 2026 record of 61 runs from six innings shows that progress in domestic cricket rarely follows a straight upward line.
Jeremiah represented the Windward Islands Infernos in the inaugural West Indies Breakout League in 2025. Cricket West Indies and the CPL created the tournament as a development competition for emerging regional players.
Breakout League performances need careful statistical labelling. They explain his selection pathway and short-format exposure, but they should not automatically be merged into his official senior T20 table when the governing-body career record classifies only his CPL matches there.
Saint Lucia Kings selected Jeremiah for the 2024 Caribbean Premier League, and he made his T20 debut on 2 October against Guyana Amazon Warriors. He finished one not out from three balls in his only appearance that season.
Saint Lucia Kings won the 2024 CPL title, so Jeremiah was a member of a championship squad. The accurate achievement is squad membership plus one tournament appearance; it does not imply that he played in the final or produced the title-winning performance.
CWI's current record lists two further CPL appearances in 2026, taking Jeremiah's classified T20 career to three matches. He scored 12 runs in the 2026 season, with 11 as his highest score.
The 2026 competition was still time-sensitive at the 30 August cutoff. These are checked-to-date totals, not a claim about his final season record. Any later appearance must be added from a completed official scorecard rather than projected from the squad list.
Cricket West Indies selected Jeremiah for a 16-player Academy development tour of Sri Lanka from 3 to 27 June 2026. The programme contained two four-day matches and three 50-over matches against Sri Lanka Emerging Players.
The tour was an important pathway selection but not a senior West Indies international call-up. CWI's career breakdown records one first-class and one List A appearance for the Academy, and those classified matches are already included in his overall totals.
Jeremiah's 2026 first-class line stood at 61 runs from six innings across three matches, with 25 as his highest score and an average of 10.16. The total includes Windward Islands Championship cricket and an Academy match.
One CWI recap notes a 74-run partnership with Alick Athanaze during a chase against Guyana, but Windward Islands lost by 93 runs. The partnership provided resistance without changing a difficult season into a strong statistical campaign.
Through 30 August 2026, Jeremiah had played 18 first-class matches and batted in 35 innings. He scored 876 runs, had two not-outs, averaged 26.54 and recorded a high score of 107.
The record contains one hundred, five fifties and 14 catches. He faced 1,896 balls and hit 111 fours and 15 sixes. CWI records no bowling innings, so zero wickets is a confirmed senior record rather than a missing data field.
Jeremiah's List A record stood at 16 matches, 16 innings and 353 runs. With one not-out, he averaged 23.53 and had a high score of 82.
He registered two fifties, no hundreds and 11 catches. His 353 runs came from 413 balls, equivalent to a strike rate of 85.47; CWI displays the same pace as 5.12 runs per over in its current table.

Reader questions
Using Cricket West Indies' current birth date of 12 February 1999, Johann Jeremiah was 27 on 30 August 2026. An older ESPNcricinfo-linked record gives 2 December 1999, so established sources disagree.
His full name is Johann Francis Jeremiah.
He is from Grenada and represents the Windward Islands cricket system.
He is a left-handed opening batter. Right-arm off-break is listed as his bowling style, but no senior deliveries or wickets appear in the current career record.

He was a member of the Saint Lucia Kings squad that won the 2024 CPL and made one appearance that season; he did not play in the final.
He has represented West Indies Academy, but no senior Test, ODI or T20I appearance was recorded through the profile cutoff.
No dependable public source establishes his net worth, CPL salary or total earnings.
Johann Jeremiah's career is built around top-order progress: a 2019 pathway tournament, senior debuts in 2022 and 2023, an 80 in a first-class victory and a first hundred of 107 while captaining Combined Campuses and Colleges. His 495-run 2024/25 season remains the strongest sustained evidence in the record.
By 30 August 2026, that path had reached 876 first-class runs, 353 List A runs, three CPL appearances and a West Indies Academy development tour. The next judgment should come from completed scorecards, while the birth-date disagreement and limited T20 sample remain clearly scoped rather than smoothed over.
