Keacy Carty
Keacy Uydess Carty is a Sint Maarten cricketer who represents the Leeward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. He is a right-handed middle-order batsman.
Born on Sint Maarten to an Anguillan immigrant father, Carty debuted for the Leeward Islands under-19s in 2013, aged 16. He made his West Indies under-19s debut at the 2014–15 Regional Super50, where matches held List A status. Carty played in all three of his team's matches in the competition, against Trinidad and Tobago, the Leeward Islands, and Jamaica.
In December 2015, Carty was named in the West Indies squad for the 2016 Under-19 World Cup. At the tournament, which began in January 2016, he played in all six of his team's matches, becoming the first Sint Maartener to play for a West Indies team. In the tournament final, against India, Carty scored 52 not out from 125 balls to guide the West Indies to a five-wicket victory, for which he was named player of the final. On his return to Sint Maarten, he was received by both the country's prime minister, William Marlin, and governor, Eugene Holiday.
Carty made his senior debut for the Leeward Islands debut later in February 2016, playing against Trinidad and Tobago in the 2015–16 Regional Four Day Competition. He opened the batting with Montcin Hodge on debut, and in the second innings scored a maiden first-class half-century, 59 runs from 115 balls.
