Career
He is a right-handed batsman who occasionally plays as wicketkeeper. His performances in the tournament earned him a Twenty20 debut for Trinidad and Tobago in the Stanford 20/20 tournament. He subsequently made his first-class debut in January 2007.
Continued domestic success in Twenty20 cricket – in his first nine games, he averaged more than 40 at an strike rate of over 125 – earned him a place in the West Indies team for a Twenty20 International against Australia.
Opening the innings in a match shortened to eleven overs per side, he scored 9 in a seven-wicket victory. Having helped Trinidad and Tobago to victory in the Stanford 20/20, scoring an unbeaten half-century in the final, Perkins was included in the initial squad for the team to face England in the Stanford Super Series for a collective prize of $20 million and attended a training camp, but did not make the final squad.
