Biography
Hope scored his maiden ODI century in just his second appearance against Zimbabwe, compiling 101 of a man-of-the-match performance in the tied contest. 

Scored centuries in both innings of a test against England in 2017 - the first was his maiden hundred - which was the time this had been achieved in first-class cricket at Headingley.

As part of the Cricket World Cup preparation, Hope combined with John Campbell to set a world-record opening partnership of 365 runs against Ireland.

In the next match of that tri-series, against Bangladesh, he became the fastest West Indian player to scored 2000 ODI runs, bringing them up in his 47th innings.
