Sylvester Okpe is a key performer, and skipper, of the Nigerian national side who complete in the West Africa Trophy, and World Cup Qualifiers.
An off-spin bowling all-rounder, Okpe has been an integral part of the national side since his debut in May 2019. His spin has accounted for 41 wickets at 13.95 (ODI) and 41 wickets at 15.24 (T20) in international cricket to date.
A schoolboy prodigy, Okpe always seemed destined for the big stage. He was a stand-out for Nigeria at the ICC U19 World Cup in 2020, and the following year (2021), was named captain of the National team.
Okpe is a player that comes highly recommended by several notable sources, including the likes of Asanka Gurasingha (former Sri Lankan international), and Steve Tikolo (former Kenyan legend).
The all-rounder is looking to showcase his skills abroad in 2025 and beyond. He has already enjoyed success in South Africa, attending the Dolphins High Performance Academy, whilst playing in Durban's Winter League.
He is now eager to play UK club cricket next summer, and potentially secure Franchise opportunities in future.
