Kyle Hope, the older brother of the West Indies wicketkeeper Shai Hope, was left out of the Barbados team after averaging 19.90 in 12 first-class matches spread over his first four seasons. Having missed out on two full seasons, he returned to first-class cricket in 2015-16 following a move to Trinidad & Tobago. It proved to be a rebirth: after four fifties in his first season for them, he broke through in 2016-17, moving to the top of the order and finishing second on the four-day run charts, with 649 at 49.92 including a maiden hundred against Windward Islands.
Those runs earned him a call-up to West Indies' ODI squad during the 2017 home series against India. He got off to starts in all three matches he played, and looked assured each time though a half-century proved elusive. His displays impressed the selectors enough to pick him for the 2017 Test tour of England.
