Donovan Pagon scored the highest ever individual score in the U-19 World Cup

In the 2002 edition of the U-19 World Cup, Donovan Pagon played one of the most memorable knocks of Youth ODI history.

The West Indian batsman made the highest ever individual score in a U-19 World Cup when he scored 176* against Scotland U-19 in the tournament. He hit 21 fours and four sixes in the course of the innings. His brilliant form continued throughout the tournament and it looked like West Indies have got another cricketing star.

However, Pagon played just a couple of Tests for the West Indies and in his 3 innings scored just 37 runs, 35 of which came only in one innings.

Pagon did not play for the national team ever again.
