J Charles

India · Left-arm orthodox · All-rounder

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.

Beyond the numbers

8,049 runs across 306 career appearances

Charles has accumulated 8,049 runs from 306 matches at an overall batting average of 27.47 and a strike rate of 120.44. The volume alone places him among the more experienced T20 travellers in the global circuit.

CPL is his standout format: avg 29, SR 132.32

In 124 Caribbean Premier League matches, Charles has scored 3,451 runs at a strike rate of 132.32 and an average of 29. No other competition in his record combines that volume with that level of intent.

Darren Sammy Stadium: avg 38.27, SR 144.95

Across 33 appearances at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Charles averages 38.27 with a strike rate of 144.95 from 1,148 runs. Those are comfortably his best returns at any ground he has played regularly.

Strong record vs CPL rivals St Kitts and Guyana

Against St Kitts Patriots, Charles averages 33.63 at a strike rate of 138.31 across 21 matches. Against Guyana Amazon Warriors, his strike rate climbs to 142.86 from 26 encounters, with 720 runs at an average of 30.

Mixed recent form across ILT20 and T20 Internationals

Charles scored a 77 off 53 balls against MI Emirates in December 2025, but that innings sits alongside several low scores in the same ILT20 campaign. His two outings against South Africa in January 2026 produced only 13 runs combined.
