Career story

Kamil Pooran career and playing journey

Who is Kamil Pooran?

Kamil Pooran is a Trinidadian top-order batter who represents Saint Lucia Kings in the 2026 Caribbean Premier League. Cricket West Indies lists him as an opening batter, with right-handed batting and right-arm medium bowling.

His senior career began with Trinidad and Tobago in first-class cricket. He later played first-class and List A cricket for Combined Campuses and Colleges, returned to the Trinidad and Tobago first-class side, and led the batting in Trinidad & Tobago Legions' 2025 Breakout League final victory.

Kamil Pooran's age, date of birth and birthplace

Kamil Pooran was born on 13 June 1996 in Trinidad. He was 30 years old on 30 August 2026.

The date appears on the current Cricket West Indies player record and is independently matched by major score databases. The page uses Trinidad as the published birthplace and does not infer a town, current residence or private address that the dependable record does not establish.

Is Kamil Pooran related to Nicholas Pooran?

Kamil Pooran and Nicholas Pooran are separate Trinidadian cricketers with separate official player records. Kamil is the opening batter born on 13 June 1996; Nicholas is the international wicketkeeper-batter born on 2 October 1995.

A secondary biographical record says they are not related, but no family statement from either player was located. The safe, useful conclusion is therefore about identity: their statistics, teams and achievements must never be combined merely because they share a surname.

What is Kamil Pooran's playing role?

Kamil Pooran is a batter, not a wicketkeeper-batter. Cricket West Indies calls him a batsman and opening batsman, while the 2026 CPL draft described him as a top-order batter.

He is also listed as a right-arm medium bowler, but that secondary skill has rarely been used in senior cricket. The official career table records only 12 balls in first-class cricket and 12 in List A cricket, with no wicket in either format. Five first-class catches and zero stumpings further support the batter classification.

How did Kamil Pooran begin his first-class career?

Pooran made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago against Jamaica in the 2022-23 West Indies Championship. He scored 8 in the first innings and 39 in the successful chase as Trinidad and Tobago won by nine wickets.

The 39 came from the opening position and helped reduce a target of 99 before the winning partnership finished the job. His debut season produced 47 runs from the two innings, a modest start that still established him in senior regional cricket.

The move to Combined Campuses and a first-class 88

Combined Campuses and Colleges selected Pooran for the 2023-24 West Indies Championship after his Trinidad debut. Cricket West Indies listed him in the reinforced CCC squad for rounds four and five, and the move gave him a longer run in the first-class top order.

Pooran's major innings was 88 against West Indies Academy in March 2024. Chasing 386, CCC reached 324 and lost by 61 runs. Across four first-class matches for CCC, he scored 211 runs from eight innings at 26.37, with the 88 as his only fifty for the team.

Kamil Pooran's return to Trinidad and Tobago

Pooran returned to Trinidad and Tobago's first-class side for the 2024-25 West Indies Championship. He played four matches, made 122 runs from seven innings and recorded a high score of 60.

That 60 was his second first-class fifty. The team split matters because the full 333-run total combines 122 for Trinidad and Tobago with 211 for Combined Campuses, while the two team rows describe different stages of the same career.

Kamil Pooran's first-class statistics

Through the end of his 2025 first-class season, Pooran had played eight matches and 15 innings. He scored 333 runs at 22.20, with two fifties, a high score of 88, 52 fours and three sixes.

The same CWI table records 507 balls faced and five catches. He had no hundred and no not-out innings in the sample. Those figures make the scope clear: the record is a developing regional career, not a Test record and not an international batting average.

Kamil Pooran's List A debut and statistics

Pooran made his List A debut for Combined Campuses and Colleges against Trinidad and Tobago on 29 October 2024 in the Super50 Cup. His record stood at 58 runs from four matches and four innings, with an average of 14.50 and a high score of 20.

He faced 108 balls, hit seven fours and one six, and bowled two overs for 13 runs without taking a wicket. One catch and no stumpings were recorded. The small 50-over sample remains separate from both first-class cricket and the CPL's Twenty20 format.

A title-winning 73 in the Breakout League final

Cricket West Indies protected Pooran for Trinidad & Tobago Legions in the inaugural West Indies Breakout League, a development tournament staged from 25 April to 10 May 2025. He scored 73 from 44 balls in the final, hitting seven fours and four sixes as Legions made 181 for 5.

Leeward Islands Thunder replied with 164 for 9, giving Legions a 17-run win. The score and result make this more than a generic squad honour: Pooran was the innings' leading scorer in the title match, although the championship still belongs to the full team.

How did Kamil Pooran join Saint Lucia Kings?

Saint Lucia Kings selected Pooran in the local-player draft for CPL 2026. The official announcement on 15 May called him a Trinidadian top-order batter and placed him with the defending Kings for the tournament running from 7 August to 20 September.

That draft record confirms the franchise relationship and role. It does not reveal his private contract terms, guarantee a place in every match or prove a future-season retention. His appearances and runs must come from completed 2026 scorecards.

Kamil Pooran's CPL warm-up and debut

Pooran made 34 from 18 balls in a Saint Lucia Kings warm-up against a Saint Lucia Premier League North XI on 6 August 2026. The innings was useful preparation but does not belong in official CPL career totals.

He made his CPL debut against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons on 10 August, opening the batting and making 14 from six balls in a successful chase. Keeping the warm-up separate makes the official five-match, 193-run record reproducible.

His first CPL fifty against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

In his second CPL match, Pooran made 54 from 30 balls against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He added 82 for the third wicket with Jewel Andrew, who scored 58 from 42 balls.

CPL's report described Pooran's fifty as his first in T20 cricket. Saint Lucia made 155 for 8 and lost by five wickets, so the innings was a strong recovery in defeat rather than a match-winning performance.

Returning after a short injury interruption

Pooran returned against Guyana Amazon Warriors after missing part of the Kings' home leg with an injury. He and Andries Gous helped Saint Lucia pass 50 in a rain-affected powerplay before Pooran was dismissed for 19.

The CPL report establishes the return in that match, not a current medical diagnosis. This page therefore does not speculate about the injury's type, treatment or long-term effect.

The unbeaten 81 against Jamaica Kingsmen

Pooran made 81 not out from 49 balls as Saint Lucia Kings chased 170 against Jamaica Kingsmen on 21 August 2026. The Kings won by six wickets with ten balls remaining.

CPL's official report credited Pooran and Matthew Forde, whose five-wicket haul had limited Jamaica to 169 for 9. Pooran stayed through the chase, shared an unbroken 57-run partnership with Obus Pienaar and struck a late six before wides completed the win.

Why the 81 not out matters

The 81 not out is Pooran's highest score in senior T20 cricket through 30 August 2026. It followed his earlier 54 and turned a promising start into a five-match CPL record with two fifties.

It also showed a different tempo from the six-ball debut cameo. He absorbed a quieter powerplay, kept the chase within reach and accelerated late. That match context is more informative than calling the innings explosive without explaining the target and finish.

Twenty-five against Trinbago Knight Riders

Pooran made 25 from 17 balls against Trinbago Knight Riders on 27 August. He helped Tim Seifert launch a 64-run powerplay before Seifert carried the innings to 105 not out.

Saint Lucia reached 211 for 4 and won by 36 runs. Pooran's contribution was a supporting opening innings rather than the headline performance, but it completed the five-match statistical snapshot used on this page.

Kamil Pooran's CPL 2026 statistics

Through five completed CPL 2026 appearances, Pooran had 193 runs from five innings with one not out. He averaged 48.25, struck at 173.87 and had a high score of 81 not out.

He had faced 111 balls, hit 22 fours and 10 sixes, and recorded two fifties. The innings sequence was 14, 54, 19, 81 not out and 25. These are tournament-to-date figures checked on 30 August, not a projection for the full season.

How his short-format game differs from first-class cricket

Pooran's early CPL strike rate of 173.87 is much higher than the scoring rate in his first-class record. That contrast reflects different match demands and a small five-game T20 sample, not proof that one format is automatically easier.

The first-class row covers 15 innings over three seasons and includes long defensive passages. CPL batting asks an opener to exploit fielding restrictions and manage a 20-over innings. Five CPL innings provide an excellent start, but future matches can move his average and strike rate quickly, so evaluating him fairly requires both the format and sample size.

Kamil Pooran's records and achievements

Pooran's documented milestones include a first-class high score of 88, a second first-class fifty of 60, 73 in the 2025 Breakout League final, a title with Trinidad & Tobago Legions, and an unbeaten CPL-best 81 for Saint Lucia Kings.

Each achievement has a defined scope. The 88 is a first-class personal best, the 73 belongs to a development T20 final, and the 81 is his CPL high score through the current cutoff. None should be mislabeled as an international record.

What is Kamil Pooran's salary or net worth?

No audited public record reviewed for this profile establishes Kamil Pooran's salary, net worth, endorsement income or total career earnings. The CPL draft announcement confirms selection but publishes no contract amount for him.

A roster place is not a financial statement. Unverified numbers from generic biography pages are excluded because they cannot show the contract, currency, deductions, bonuses, taxes or other information needed to support a personal-wealth claim.

Kamil Pooran's family and personal life

Reliable cricket sources establish Pooran's career and separate identity, but they do not document a spouse, girlfriend, children or private family arrangements. This profile therefore makes no claim about those matters.

Sharing a surname with Nicholas Pooran is not evidence of a family relationship. The page keeps the two player records separate and avoids turning search curiosity into an unsupported statement about either man's private life.

What comes next for Kamil Pooran?

Pooran remained part of Saint Lucia Kings' active CPL 2026 campaign at the 30 August review. His 193 runs had placed him among the competition's leading early run-scorers, but the season was scheduled to continue until 20 September.

The next reliable update should use completed scorecards and a new cutoff. Future team membership also needs a dated squad or retention announcement; a strong debut season does not automatically prove selection for another year.
