J Charles
J Charles is a West Indies batter who has played 306 matches across T20 and ODI cricket, accumulating 8,049 runs at a batting average of 27.47 and a strike rate of 120.44. His primary competition is the Caribbean Premier League, where he has scored 3,451 runs from 124 matches at a strike rate of 132.32. On current form, his last ten appearances tell a mixed story: a 77 off 53 balls against MI Emirates in the ILT20 in December 2025 stands out, but the nine innings around it produced modest returns, including single-figure scores in both T20 Internationals against South Africa in January 2026.
