Joel McKenzie Simmonds (born 27 January 1976) is a former Nevisian cricketer who played for the Leeward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket. He was a wicket-keeper and right-handed batsman.
From Gingerland parish,Simmonds played for the Leewards under-19 team in three consecutive editions (1993,1994,and 1995) of the West Indies Youth Championships,captaining the team in the 1995 tournament. [1] He did not make his first-class debut for the Leewards until the 1999–2000 season, [2] replacing usual keeper Ridley Jacobs,who was on tour with the West Indies at the time. [3] Simmonds played a further six matches the following season, [4] and against the Windward Islands in January 2001 scored his highest first-class score. [5] This innings of 54 runs included a partnership of 100 runs with Kerry Jeremy (70 not out) for the ninth wicket,a team record against the Windwards. [6] However,Simmonds played only two matches in each of the two following seasons,with Jason Williams increasingly favoured when Jacobs was on international duty. His last first-class match came in February 2003,against Guyana. [2]
Simmonds did not play any further matches at a major level until he was selected to appear for Nevis in the inaugural 2006 edition of the Stanford 20/20. [7] Nevis won its first two matches to progress to the semi-final round,and against Trinidad and Tobago,Simmonds top-scored with 65 not out from 47 balls,an innings which included three sixes. However,Nevis were only able to record 136/9 from their 20 overs,losing the match by 74 runs. [8] Partially based on this form,Simmonds was selected to keep wicket for the Leewards in the 2007–08 KFC Cup,playing the only three List A matches of his career. [9] He was again selected for Nevis in the 2008 edition of the Stanford 20/20,and took over from the retired Stuart Williams as the team's captain. In the team's first-round match,against Montserrat,Simmonds scored 37 runs and recorded two dismissals,for which he was named man of the match. [10] [11] However,in the next match,against Jamaica,Nevis lost by eight wickets,in what was to be his final match in West Indian domestic cricket. [12] In August 2011,Simmonds was shot during an attempted robbery at a house in Pond Hill,where he had been engaged in illegal gambling. [13] [14]
