'''Devendra Bishoo''' (born 6 November 1985)<ref name="profile">[http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/player/341593.html Profile] espncricinfo Retrieved 20 March 2011</ref> is a [[Guyana|Guyanese]] former [[cricket]]er, who plays all formats of the game for West Indies. He is a [[leg-spinner]] who made his international debut for the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] in the [[2011 Cricket World Cup]].<ref name="rep">{{Cite web|url=http://www.cricketworld.com/bishoo-named-as-world-cup-replacement-for-bravo/27026.htm|title=Bishoo Replaces Bravo in West Indies World Cup Squad|access-date=20 March 2011|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304113120/http://www.cricketworld.com/bishoo-named-as-world-cup-replacement-for-bravo/27026.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Bishoo was named as [[ICC Men's Emerging Cricketer of the Year|ICC Emerging Player of the Year]] in 2011, but lost his place in the team through a combination of loss of form and competition brought on by [[Sunil Narine]] and [[Shane Shillingford]].

==Domestic career==

Bishoo is a leg spinner who has risen through the ranks since his debut in the 2008 season. He cut his teeth at the first-class level and courted immediate success, snaring four [[five-wicket haul]]s, and ten in one match, in his first couple of seasons.

His attacking style of bowling had a major impact in the 2010 [[Caribbean T20]] where he finished with ten wickets in four games at the mean average of 8.20, conceding just 5.12 runs an over. He was named in West Indies A team for unofficial test tour to [[India]] in September 2013.

In October 2018, [[Cricket West Indies]] (CWI) awarded him a [[first-class cricket|red-ball]] contract for the 2018–19 season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24866534/kemar-roach-gets-all-format-west-indies-contract |title=Kemar Roach gets all-format West Indies contract |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=2 October 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/867947 |title=Cricket West Indies announces list of contracted players |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=2 October 2018}}</ref>

==International career==
Bishoo was a replacement for the injured [[Dwayne Bravo]]<ref name="rep"/> at the [[2011 Cricket World Cup|World Cup]] in Bangladesh, [[India]] and [[Sri Lanka]] from 19 February to 2 April 2011. He made his international debut against [[England national cricket team|England]] at [[Chennai]] on 17 March, taking 3/34 in his 10 overs.<ref name="profile"/> Bishoo adapted his bowling to the slow pitches of the Indian subcontinent, reducing the pace of his stock delivery and introducing variations of speed.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-v-india-2011/content/current/story/519605.html |title=Kohli and Bishoo pursue greatness |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |first=Sriram |last=Veera |date=19 June 2011 |access-date=20 June 2011}}</ref>

Bishoo played his first [[Twenty20 International]] match against Pakistan at St.Lucia. He put in a match-winning performance of 4/17 in 4 overs taking the [[Man of the Match]] award as West Indies won by 7 runs.

When Australia visited in March 2012, the selectors rested Bishoo for the ODI series. It was hoped that he would be more effective in the Tests if the Australian batsmen were not allowed to get used to his bowling.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-indies-v-australia-2012/content/story/559721.html |title=Tourists suspect against spin – Baugh |first=Daniel |last=Brettig |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=3 April 2012 |access-date=27 April 2012}}</ref> In the event he played just one Test, conceding 169 runs for a solitary wicket,<ref>{{citation |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=7009;type=series |title=Records / The Frank Worrell Trophy, 2011/12 / Most wickets |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=27 April 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501230428/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/bowling/most_wickets_career.html?id=7009%3Btype%3Dseries |archive-date=1 May 2012 }}</ref> and was replaced by off-spinner [[Shane Shillingford]]. Rather than accompanying the West Indies on their tour of England in May 2012, it was felt that Bishoo would be better off accompanying West Indies A in India to regain confidence.<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-west-indies-2012/content/story/562966.html |title=Ramdin and Samuels back for West Indies |first=Daniel |last=Brettig |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=27 April 2012 |access-date=27 April 2012}}</ref>

On 16 October 2016, Bishoo took 8 wickets in a [[West Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the UAE in 2016–17|match against Pakistan]]. This was the second best figures by any West Indian spinner and the best by a leg-spinner. He took 10 wickets for 174 in that [http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-v-west-indies-2016-17/engine/match/1050229.html match], and it was his first [[10 wicket haul]] in Tests. This is also the best bowling performance by any visiting bowler in Asian sub-continent.

Devendra Bishoo also set the record for becoming the first ever bowler to take 10 wicket haul in a day night test match and was also the only spinner as well as a legspinner to achieve this milestone. He was also the first bowler to take a 7 wicket haul as well as an 8 wicket haul in an innings of a day/night test match. He was also the only spinner to take a 6 wicket haul in an innings of a day/night test match.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-v-west-indies-2016-17/content/story/1061925.html|title=Bishoo eight-for revives contest in Dubai Test|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=8 March 2017|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1050229.html|title=1st Test: Pakistan v West Indies at Dubai (DSC), Oct 13–17, 2016.
