Gudakesh Motie is a left-arm orthodox spinner from the West Indies. He bowls slow left-arm and bats left-handed.
Motie has played ODI cricket for the West Indies, accumulating 1048 runs across his one-day international appearances. As a bowler operating in the spin-friendly role of slow left-arm-orthodox, he offers the type of control and variation that suits the middle and closing overs of limited-overs cricket.
His dual role as both batter and bowler gives him utility in the West Indies setup. The left-hand batting adds depth to the lower middle order, while his primary value lies in his bowling at the crease. Slow left-arm spinners remain a stock option in ODI cricket, particularly in conditions that offer turn or when opposition batsmen struggle against the angle of delivery from around the wicket.
Motie represents the West Indies' investment in developing all-round cricketers capable of contributing with both bat and ball in international competition.
