Having made his reputation for the West Indies during a limited-overs series in India last year, Oshane Thomas was roped in by the Rajasthan Royals but played only 4 matches for them last season. Thomas looked threatening in a few matches but wasn't given a longer run.

He is a skiddy customer who has the tendency to hurry batsmen with his pace and hostility. The youngster rose into prominence back in 2017 when he bowled a match-winning spell for the Jamaica Tallawahs in the CPL which included the wickets of Chris Gayle and Carlos Brathwaite.
He has the ability to swing the ball both ways at pace which gained him instant recognition. The speedster bagged ₹1.2 crores in the auctions last year. He has raw pace and provided his workload is maintained, Thomas might be one of the tearaways fast bowlers for West Indies in the coming years.

Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
