Kyle Mayers is a Barbadian professional cricketer who has represented the West Indies in all 3 formats of the sport (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is), as a batting all-rounder. Before breaking into the senior national team in 2020, he had participated in the 2012 Under-19 ICC Cricket World Cup, helping his team finish in a creditable 6th place. In his team’s first match of that tournament, he had recorded scintillating figures of 2/35 in 10 overs and had scored a vital knock of 43 runs, a performance for which he was named the ‘Player Of the Match’. In the next match, against Papua New Guinea, he had again recorded sensational figures of 3/12. He was the team’s best bowler in their quarter-final match against New Zealand as well (3/42) but could not prevent a 3-wicket defeat. In the Caribbean domestic circuit, he has played for Combined Campuses and Colleges (2011-12–2014-15), Barbados (2012-13, 2019-20), and Windward Islands (2015-16–2018-19) across all 3 formats. In the CPL (Caribbean Premier League), he has represented the T20 franchise teams Barbados Tridents (2013–2014, 2017–2020) and St. Lucia Zouks (2015–2017). In May 2024, he had been awarded his maiden red-ball central contract by Cricket West Indies (CWI), the governing body for cricket in the West Indies (a sporting confederation of over a dozen mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries and dependencies that once formed the British West Indies).

Kyle Mayers Facts
- Kyle, in January 2020, on the opening day of the 2019–20 edition of the West Indies Championship (the 54th edition of the Regional Four Day Competition, the domestic first-class cricket competition for the countries of the Cricket West Indies (CWI)), had recorded the first century of his first-class cricket career.
- In February 2024, in his debut test match for the West Indies, he had scored 210 runs not out in 310 balls, helping his team overcome a highly improbable target of 395 runs, the then 5th-largest chase in the history of test match cricket, and the highest successful run chase in Asia.
- He had also become the 14th batsman for the West Indies to have scored a century on debut in test match cricket. His mammoth, heroic effort had set numerous other records. He had become just the 6th batsman to have scored a double century on his test match debut.
- Kyle had also become only the second West Indian cricketer to have scored a double century in the 4th innings of a successful test match chase. His 53% contribution in the team’s total was the 3rd highest contribution by any batsmen in a win chasing a target of 300 runs or more.
