DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, CMC – West Indies rising star Ackeem Auguste has signed with MI Emirates for the upcoming season of the DP World International League T20.

Auguste, who will join fellow West Indians Romario Shepherd and Andre Fletcher on the squad, is expected to strengthen MI Emirates’ batting lineup with his elegant stroke play during the tournament, which runs from December 2, 2025, to January 4, 2026.

The 22-year-old left-handed batsman was part of the West Indies team that played Nepal in a three-match T20I series recently, scoring an unbeaten 41 in the third match which the Windies won by 10 wickets.

Auguste, a Saint Lucian, earned the callup after a solid showing for the Saint Lucia Kings in the recently concluded Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, where he averaged 25.44.

He follows in the footsteps of fellow Saint Lucian McKenny Clarke, who was signed by the MI Emirates franchise in 2022.
