Amir Jangoo is a Trinidadian left-handed wicketkeeper-batter whose patience finally paid off in spectacular fashion in 2026. On 5 November 2026, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded the 29-year-old his maiden international retainer contract for the 2026-27 season, recognising a year in which he scored a maiden Test double century and shared a world-record partnership. Jangoo made 233 against Sri Lanka in Antigua in June 2026, adding 401 runs for the sixth wicket with Roston Chase — a world record for that wicket in Test cricket, as reported by Cricbuzz. Like fellow wicketkeeper-batters Finn Allen and Glenn Maxwell, Jangoo combines keeping duties with the ability to change a game with the bat.
Early Life
Amir Anthony Jangoo was born on 14 July 1997 in St. James, Trinidad and Tobago, and attended St. Anthony’s College in Trinidad, as reported by The SportsGrail. He grew up idolising Brian Lara, the greatest batter Trinidad has produced, and worked his way into the West Indies Under-19 setup while still a teenager.
Jangoo made his List A debut for West Indies Under-19s in the Regional Super50 in January 2015, and his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago against Barbados at Kensington Oval on 7 April 2017, scoring 32 and 71. He spent years building a domestic record with Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, accumulating nearly 2,000 first-class runs, including a highest score of 218, before his senior international call-up, as reported by myKhel. He was also the leading run-scorer in the 2024 Super50 Cup.
Career
Jangoo’s international breakthrough came as a surprise. Despite a List A record that had not obviously pointed to the white-ball arena, West Indies picked him for the ODI series against Bangladesh in December 2024, and he made the selectors look inspired. On debut at Basseterre on 12 December 2024, he walked in with West Indies in trouble at 86 for 4 chasing 322, and finished unbeaten on 104 from 83 balls to seal a four-wicket win and a 3-0 series sweep. His century came off 80 balls, the fastest hundred ever scored on ODI debut, and made him only the second West Indian after Desmond Haynes to score a century on ODI debut, as reported by NewsCanvass.
A Test call-up followed almost immediately, and Jangoo made his Test debut against Pakistan at Multan on 25 January 2025. He added a T20I debut against Nepal on 27 September 2025, completing the set of all three international formats within ten months of his first cap. In franchise cricket he has represented Trinbago Knight Riders and Jamaica Tallawahs, and now turns out for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the Caribbean Premier League.
The defining innings of his career so far came in June 2026, in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Antigua. Jangoo scored his maiden Test century — and his first double century — with 233 from 226 balls, sharing a 401-run sixth-wicket stand with Roston Chase that set a new world record for that wicket in Test cricket, as reported by Cricbuzz. He followed it later in the year with a 70-ball century against India on 30 September 2026, finishing with a career-best ODI score of 114 from 77 balls as West Indies posted a team record 405.
By November 2026, Jangoo had played 12 ODIs, scoring 467 runs at an average of 58.38 with two centuries, as reported by myKhel. On 5 November 2026 — the very day CWI announced his maiden retainer contract, running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027 — he was unbeaten on 111 on day one of the second Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet, adding 131 runs with Kevin Wickham, as reported by Nation Press.
Personal Life
Jangoo’s family, as listed by several cricket profile websites, includes his father Anthony Jangoo, his mother Sultana Jangoo and his sister Amirah Jangoo. He is widely reported to follow Islam, a detail that appears consistently across profile sites covering the Trinidadian cricketer.
Beyond that, Jangoo keeps his private life out of the spotlight. No wife has been publicly confirmed, and reliable sources have not verified details of a partner or relationship; some unofficial biography sites carry claims about his personal life, but these are not backed by Cricket West Indies, the ICC or other reliable cricket sources, as noted by Hamariweb. His public focus remains firmly on his cricket.
Amir Jangoo Net Worth 2026
Amir Jangoo net worth in 2026 is estimated at around ₹4 crore, approximately US $500,000, according to several cricket profile websites. No official or audited figure has ever been published, so the number should be treated as an estimate rather than a confirmed total.
His earnings come from his West Indies match fees and his first CWI retainer contract, which began on 1 October 2026, together with domestic cricket for Trinidad and Tobago and his Caribbean Premier League deal with Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. A longer run in the West Indies side, particularly in Test cricket, would be expected to lift his earnings further.
