Neil McGarrell made his debut for the West Indies in the fourth Test against South Africa in Antigua in April 2001, after being on the brink of the team for some time. Success came early; South African opener Gary Kirsten was his first Test scalp. While primarily a slow left-arm bowler, McGarrell's quickness and sure hands make him a dangerous fielder, especially close to the wicket. He has also proved himself a proficient batsman for the West Indies A squad. In December 2003 he was appointed Guyana's captain. McGarrell played first-class cricket for Guyana and Twenty20s till 2008. He moved to the US and was in line to represent them in the ICC World Cricket League Division 3 in January 2011.
