Career story

Navin Bidaisee career and playing journey

Who is Navin Bidaisee?

Navin Bidaisee is a Trinidad and Tobago cricketer who bats left-handed and bowls right-arm leg-break. He has represented West Indies in T20 internationals, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in senior regional cricket, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League and Dubai Capitals in the International League T20.

The ICC calls him an all-rounder. Cricket West Indies lists his player role as bowler and describes him as a middle-order batter and fourth-change bowler. Both official records identify the same left-handed batting and leg-spin bowling styles, which support the broader spin-bowling all-rounder description.

CWI player number 18138, his 24 March 2000 birth date and the same playing styles connect his domestic, franchise and international record. CWI also lists the West Indies Select XI and Trinidad and Tobago Legions among his teams, alongside his senior regional and franchise sides.

How old is Navin Bidaisee?

Navin Bidaisee was 26 years old on 24 August 2026. He was born on 24 March 2000 in Trinidad and Tobago. Cricket West Indies and the ICC publish the same date of birth.

His age places the 2018 Under-19 award and his later senior breakthroughs in useful order. He was 18 when CWI named him the regional Under-19 three-day MVP, 22 when he entered List A cricket, 24 on first-class debut and 25 when he made both his CPL and West Indies T20I debuts.

The age is dated because it changes each birthday; the birth date is the stable identity fact. No current residence or private address is inferred from his Trinidad and Tobago birthplace.

What is Navin Bidaisee's playing role?

Bidaisee is a left-handed batter and right-arm leg-break bowler. His youth record and senior T20 use show contributions in both disciplines, which is why the ICC and franchise directories describe him as an all-rounder even though CWI's current top-line role says bowler.

Leg-break bowling gives him a matchup role against right- and left-handed batters. The scorecard shows whether he bowled in each match. In CPL 2026, CWI recorded three appearances through the review cutoff, two bowling innings and two batting innings.

His batting position has also changed with the team situation. The 2025 CPL fifty came after the Patriots slipped to 61 for 4, while his 2026 innings of 19 was played during a difficult chase. A single position such as opener or number seven would therefore oversimplify his present role.

How did Navin Bidaisee emerge in West Indies youth cricket?

Bidaisee's first major regional recognition came in the 2018 West Indies Under-19 three-day championship. Cricket West Indies named him the tournament's Most Valuable Player after he scored 222 runs and took 12 wickets for Trinidad and Tobago, who won the three-day title.

The batting return included a high score of 93 against Jamaica. He finished third on the tournament run list, while his 12 wickets came at a reported average of 16.5 with best figures of 4 for 31. The award therefore reflected a genuine two-discipline contribution rather than a single eye-catching innings.

Those are age-group tournament figures, not senior first-class totals. They explain the all-rounder pathway, but they are kept separate from his one-match first-class record and later franchise statistics.

When did Navin Bidaisee make his List A debut?

Bidaisee made his List A debut for Combined Campuses and Colleges against Guyana at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on 5 November 2022. He scored 30 from 55 balls in a total of 206 before Guyana completed a five-wicket win with 43 balls remaining.

His first Super50 season produced 69 runs from four innings, with a high score of 30. He also took three wickets from 78 balls at 21.66, including career-best List A figures of 3 for 40. Those figures show that his first senior limited-overs role already involved both disciplines.

Bidaisee returned to the Super50 Cup for Trinidad and Tobago in 2025/26. He added 25 runs and one wicket across that competition, taking the current CWI career line to eight List A matches, 94 runs and four wickets.

What happened on Navin Bidaisee's first-class debut?

Bidaisee made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago Red Force against Jamaica Scorpions at Sabina Park on 17 April 2024. He scored 31 from 76 balls in Trinidad and Tobago's only innings and later took 2 for 20 from six overs.

Red Force made 433, dismissed Jamaica for 189 and 118, and won by an innings and 125 runs. Bidaisee's 31 supported Joshua Da Silva during the first innings, while the two wickets completed an effective debut in a dominant team result.

That remains his entire first-class sample in CWI's current table: one match, 31 runs, two wickets, a bowling average of 10.00 and best figures of 2 for 20. One appearance cannot establish a settled career average, even when the calculation is exact.

Why was the 2025 West Indies Breakout League important?

The inaugural West Indies Breakout League gave Bidaisee a direct route from regional development cricket toward the CPL. He played for Trinidad and Tobago Legions, who topped the league stage and won the final, and finished with 125 runs and 10 wickets across the tournament record reviewed for this biography.

His strongest batting contribution was 56 from 40 balls against Windward Islands Infernos. He also took two wickets for 27 runs in the final as the Legions defended 181 and beat Leeward Islands Thunder by 17 runs. The tournament exposed both his middle-order batting and controlled leg-spin to franchise selectors.

CWI classifies the Breakout League as Minor Twenty20 and keeps it outside the major T20 career row. The performances helped earn a CPL opportunity, while the official recognized T20 aggregate excludes those runs and wickets.

How did Navin Bidaisee score a fifty on CPL debut?

Bidaisee made his CPL and recognized T20 debut for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots against Saint Lucia Kings at Warner Park on 19 August 2025. Chasing 201, the Patriots were 61 for 4 when he joined Jason Holder. Bidaisee recovered from a slow start and finished with 50 from 36 balls, including two fours and four sixes.

He and Holder added 77 for the fifth wicket, then Bidaisee combined with Jyd Goolie to keep the chase alive. He reached his fifty from 35 balls and was caught at long-off from the final delivery, with the Patriots ending on 197 for 6 and losing by three runs.

The innings stands out for context as well as the round number. It was his first major T20 match, came in a chase above 200 and lasted until the final ball. The scorecard records a notable debut fifty in a three-run defeat.

What did Navin Bidaisee achieve in CPL 2025?

CWI's competition split gives Bidaisee 117 runs and seven wickets from seven CPL 2025 matches. He batted six times, remained not out twice, averaged 29.25 and recorded a high score of 50. His 97 balls produced a strike rate of 120.62.

With the ball, he delivered 21 overs, conceded 169 runs and took seven wickets at 24.14. His best return was 2 for 24, his economy rate was 8.04 and his strike rate was 18 balls per wicket. Those figures made him a meaningful contributor rather than a player remembered only for the debut fifty.

The season also included an athletic caught-and-bowled against Barbados Royals, highlighted by the official CPL channel. Individual highlights add colour, but the full seven-match split is the better measure of his first franchise season.

How did Navin Bidaisee enter international cricket?

Cricket West Indies selected Bidaisee for the three-match T20I series against Nepal in Sharjah in September 2025. Selectors chose emerging players who had impressed in the Breakout League and CPL, and the ICC listed Bidaisee among the uncapped players in line for a debut.

He took 3 for 29 from four overs on debut on 27 September 2025. His wickets included Nepal captain Rohit Paudel and Kushal Malla after the pair had rebuilt the innings. West Indies restricted Nepal to 148 for 8, then made 129 for 9 and lost by 19 runs.

The bowling return remains Bidaisee's best in T20I and recognized T20 cricket. It was an excellent personal start in a losing team performance, and the scorecard supports both parts of that statement.

What are Navin Bidaisee's T20I statistics?

Bidaisee's current international record consists of all three matches in the September 2025 Nepal series. CWI lists 24 runs from two innings, a high score of 22, a batting average of 12.00 and a strike rate of 80.00.

He bowled in all three matches, sending down 48 balls for 62 runs and three wickets. The resulting bowling average is 20.66, the economy rate is 7.75 and the strike rate is 16.0. All three wickets came in the 3 for 29 debut spell; he returned 0 for 28 and 0 for 5 in the next two games.

Three matches are enough to establish an international record but not a settled level of performance. No later squad listing is counted as another cap unless the official playing XI and scorecard show that he appeared.

What are Navin Bidaisee's current career statistics?

The Cricket West Indies table reviewed on 24 August 2026 lists three T20Is, one first-class match, eight List A matches and 14 recognized T20 matches. T20Is are already included inside the 14-match T20 total, while the youth and Breakout League records remain separate classifications.

His overall T20 line contains 167 runs from 11 innings, two not-outs, one fifty and a high score of 50. He has 10 wickets from 204 balls, with best figures of 3 for 29, a bowling average of 27.10 and an economy rate of 7.97.

The first-class row contains 31 runs and two wickets. The List A row contains 94 runs and four wickets, with a batting high of 30 and best bowling of 3 for 40. These totals share a current official cutoff but represent very different sample sizes.

How did Navin Bidaisee join Dubai Capitals?

Dubai Capitals added Bidaisee for the 2025/26 International League T20 season, extending his franchise experience outside the Caribbean. CWI records one appearance: seven runs from 10 balls and no wicket from two overs that cost 21 runs.

One match is evidence of selection and exposure, not a full overseas-season trend. It adds one appearance, seven runs and 12 bowling deliveries to the recognized T20 career row, but it does not change his primary current CPL team.

An ILT20 auction document later listed his reserve price at US$10,000 under a variant spelling. A reserve price is an entry condition for an auction, not proof of final salary, guaranteed payment or net worth, so it is not presented as his earnings.

What has Navin Bidaisee done in CPL 2026?

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots retained Bidaisee as their designated Breakout Player before the CPL 2026 draft. The official CPL announcement named one retained Breakout Player for each franchise, making his return a specific retention decision rather than a carry-over assumption from the previous squad.

CWI's current 2026 split records three appearances through 24 August: two batting innings, 19 runs from 17 balls and a high score of 19. He bowled three overs across two innings, conceding 19 runs without taking a wicket. The 6.33 economy rate covers an 18-ball sample.

His 19 from 16 balls against Jamaica Kingsmen ended as a tactical retired-out dismissal at the close of the 14th over. The Patriots were chasing 182, reached only 130 and lost by 51 runs. He had earlier made a one-ball duck against Trinbago Knight Riders and was not selected for the August 20 match against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, which is why squad membership and appearances must remain separate.

What are Navin Bidaisee's main records and achievements?

Bidaisee's clearest achievement is the 2018 West Indies Under-19 three-day MVP award, earned with 222 runs and 12 wickets for champion Trinidad and Tobago. At senior level, his strongest landmarks are 50 on CPL debut and 3 for 29 on T20I debut.

His first-class debut also produced 31 and 2 for 20 in an innings victory, while the 2025 Breakout League delivered 125 runs, 10 wickets and a team title. Each item has a defined competition and date; none is converted into a claim that he holds a wider career record.

CPL retention for 2026 is another career step rather than a statistical award. It shows that the Patriots chose to keep him in the Breakout Player slot after his seven-match 2025 season.

What is known about Navin Bidaisee's salary and net worth?

No audited financial statement or authoritative public contract reviewed for this biography establishes Bidaisee's salary, total career earnings or net worth. Playing for West Indies and franchise teams confirms professional opportunities, but it does not disclose take-home income.

A draft band, retention category or auction reserve price can have a narrow competition meaning. It may exclude taxes, bonuses, match fees, endorsements and private contract terms, so it cannot be treated as personal wealth. Unreferenced figures on generic biography sites are not reliable evidence.

The accurate answer is therefore limited: Bidaisee has earned senior regional, international and franchise selections, while his complete compensation and personal financial position remain private.

What is known about Navin Bidaisee's family and relationships?

Reliable cricket and mainstream sources reviewed for this biography do not document Bidaisee's parents, siblings, spouse, girlfriend or children in a way that supports a responsible public claim. The absence of reporting does not prove any relationship status.

This profile therefore does not repeat social-media rumours, assign him a partner or infer family wealth. Private addresses, contact details and relatives who have not chosen a public role are outside a cricket biography.

If Bidaisee or a dependable named source later places relevant family context on record, it can be added with its scope and date. Until then, his documented cricket pathway provides the useful biography.

What should readers watch next in Navin Bidaisee's career?

Bidaisee's next challenge is converting strong debut moments into repeatable senior output. A CPL fifty and T20I three-wicket haul prove that he can affect high-level matches, but his official samples remain 14 recognized T20s, eight List A games and one first-class appearance.

Team balance will influence his opportunities. The Patriots can field several established all-rounders and overseas spinners, so selection, batting position and overs are not guaranteed by his roster place. Actual scorecards are more informative than a squad list when assessing progress.

The most useful future indicators are regular T20 wickets without losing economy control, batting contributions beyond the lower middle order and further West Indies selections. Those are measurable possibilities, not predictions that any particular outcome will happen.
