Hayden Walsh Jr, the 27-year-old leg spinner from USA, took CPL 2019 by storm. He finished the season as the top wicket-taker and also had the best figures in an innings. As a result of the fine performances he was named player of the series.

In nine CPL 2019 matches, Walsh picked up 22 wickets at a strike rate of 9.1 and an average of 12.68. He conceded runs at 8.28, but made up for it with wickets consistently, finishing with one five-for and one four-wicket haul.

Walsh claimed 5 for 19 in the 23rd match of the tournament against Trinbago Knight Riders, and 4 for 26 a couple of matches later against St. Lucia Zouks. He kept chipping in with scalps in other games as well.

Even in the final, where he went for 23 in 2 overs, he got the big wicket of opposition skipper Shoaib Malik.

Walsh has featured in 19 T20 games, and has 28 wickets to his name at an average of 16.17 and a strike rate of 12.1.
