Andre Fletcher is one of a crop of young batsmen West Indies have tested recently by throwing them into international cricket without vast first-class experience. A top-order batsman with a solid technique, Fletcher showed promising signs in his initial international appearances but a lack of awareness of what was happening in the field around him was a problem and cost him his wicket more than once. He earned the call-up for the limited-overs games against Australia in 2008 following a domestic season in which he posted his maiden first-class century, an unbeaten 103 for Windward Islands in his team's otherwise dismal batting display against Jamaica. A former West Indies Under-19s player, Fletcher keeps wicket for Grenada in the Stanford 20/20, and was one of the million-dollar winners during the inaugural Stanford Super Series in Antigua.
