Jeremiah Louis struck on helmet by Jayden Seales bouncer as dangerous pitch forces West Indies domestic match abandonment in Antigua

Published by Webster

3 min readApr 22, 2026 06:34 PM IST A domestic red ball cricket match between Trinidad & Tobago and Leeward Islands in the West Indies Championship was abandoned due to a dangerous pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua after Jeremiah Louis was hit on the helmet while batting. The umpires decided to abandon the match early on Tuesday (Day 3 of the match) after the Leeward Islands seamer Louis was struck on the helmet by fast bowler Jayden Seales. Louis was subsequently taken to a hospital with a suspected concussion after a short-pitched delivery from Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies seamer Jayden Seales rose sharply and struck him on the side of the head during the first session of day three. Louis collapsed to the ground before removing his helmet and striking the turf in frustration. He then kicked his helmet toward a short-leg fielder and walked off toward the pavilion. Twenty-seven wickets had fallen across the three days, one of only 12 fixtures in a reduced domestic First-Class season. A …

3 min readUpdated: Mar 25, 2026 09:41 AM IST Former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has revealed he spent more time in the West Indies dressing room during the 1983 tour where he made his debut in the Antigua Test. Having faced a few unpleasant incidents during his time in Pakistan because of his skin colour, the 60-year-old says he was more at home in the West Indies.“Everybody’s skin colour was on the darker side. They were very happy people,” Sivaramakrishnan says. The former leg-spinner then recalled how the likes of Malcolm Marshall and Desmond Haynes would take him out during the Test series. “In West Indies I was treated very well even by the opposition, in fact my best friends were Desmond Haynes and late Malcolm Marshall, they used to take me out almost every evening. When the Test matches were going on, I’d probably take a change of clothes and have a shower in the ground and take permission and leave,” he told The Indian Express. Marshall and Haynes took him out almost every …
