Thelston Rodney O'Neale Payne (13 February 1957 – 10 May 2023) was a Barbadian cricketer who played one Test match and seven One Day Internationals for the West Indies.^[1]

Test career

Payne played first-class cricket from 1978–79 to 1989–90, turning out in 68 first class matches, mostly for Barbados. He was usually second-choice wicket-keeper to Jeff Dujon in the West Indies team, but got his Test chance in the 1985–86 series against England in the West Indies, when Dujon was injured. He held five catches in the West Indies' seven-wicket win, but scored only five runs.^[1]

ODI career

In his seven ODIs, he was always in and out of the team, and he only played in two successive matches – in the 1986–87 World Series Cup. That was his penultimate ODI – his last was against New Zealand two months later, during which he held a catch off Richard Hadlee's bat, but did not get to bat because Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes wrapped up the target without losing a wicket.^[1] He was part of the West indies squad in the World Championship of Cricket in 1985.
