Janeiro J Tucker OBE (born 15 March 1975) is a Bermudian former cricketer, who played 26 One Day Internationals and five Twenty20 Internationals for his country.

Career

Tucker's first top-level domestic cricket came in 1996-97, when he played for Bermuda against the Windward Islands in the List A Shell/Sandals Trophy, taking 1-45 and scoring three runs.[citation needed]

Tucker played a full part in Bermuda's 2005 ICC Trophy campaign in July of that year, as they claimed third place in the competition, averaging 46.40 with the bat including scoring 132 against the USA at The Lawn, Waringstown.[1][2] The following month he made a century on his first-class debut, scoring 123 in the second innings against Canada in the ICC Intercontinental Cup.[3]

He captained the Bermudian cricket team in their first ever One Day International when they played Canada on 17 May 2006; Tucker took 2/29 off nine overs and scored 17 as Bermuda won by three wickets.[4]

Tucker was selected as part of Bermuda's squad for the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.[5]

In April 2018, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Four tournament in Malaysia.[6] In September 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[7] Tucker made his Twenty20 International debut against Papua New Guinea, on 19 October 2019.[8]
