Adrian Anselm King (born 8 March 1952) is a West Indian former cricketer who played both for the Windward Islands in West Indian domestic cricket and for Bermuda internationally.
King was born in Canouan, Saint Vincent.[1] He made his first-class debut for the Windwards in July 1973, in a friendly match against the Leeward Islands.[2] King did not play at first-class level again for almost five years. He re-appeared in April 1978, against the touring Australians, and marked his return with a ten-wicket haul – 6/50 in the first innings and 4/34 in the second.[3] Despite this performance, King never again played at first-class level, as later in the year he moved to Bermuda for his job as a policeman.[4]
After several years of club cricket on the island, King was selected to make his international debut for Bermuda at the 1982 ICC Trophy, played in England.[5] He played in all seven of his team's matches, and took eight wickets, which was the fourth-most for Bermuda (behind Elvin James, Winston Trott, and Noel Gibbons).[6] His best performance, 3/23 from seven overs, came against Bangladesh, while he also recorded figures of 2/15 against Malaysia and 2/23 against Papua New Guinea.[5] King last played for Bermuda in January 1983, in a series of a games against Jamaica.[7] In the second of two four-day matches played, he took first-innings figures of 5/85, which included the wicket of West Indies international Jeff Dujon.[8]
