Early career

A Combermere School student who came through the YMPC Cricket Club,[2] Dowrich represented the West Indies at the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup,[3] making his first-class debut for Barbados at the age of 18 on his return,[4] and was awarded the Lord Gavron Award for promising young cricketers in Barbados alongside Roston Chase at the end of the year.[5] As part of this award, Dowrich spent the 2012 English season playing for Sefton Park[6] in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, scoring two centuries as he totaled 733 league runs at an average of 52.35 [7] despite returning to the Caribbean mid-season to play for West Indies A.

International career

In May 2015 he was named in the 14-man Test squad to face Australia.[8] He made an impressive start on his Test debut against Australia at Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica.[9] After conceding a lead of 170 in the first innings, West Indies were struggling at 3/37. He and Marlon Samuels added 144 runs for the fourth wicket before a collapse led West Indies to 216 all out and handed victory to Australia.

In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded him a red-ball contract for the 2018–19 season.[10][11]

In April 2019, he was named in the West Indies' One Day International (ODI) squad for the 2019 Ireland Tri-Nation Series.[12] He made his ODI debut for the West Indies, in the second match of the tri-series, against Bangladesh on 7 May 2019.[13]

In May 2019, Cricket West Indies (CWI) named him as one of ten reserve players in the West Indies' squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[14][15] In June 2020, Dorwich was named in the West Indies' Test squad, for their series against England.[16] The Test series was originally scheduled to start in May 2020, but was moved back to July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[17]
