Early life and career

edit

Jan and his twin brother, Asif, were born in the village of Mafeking, in Trinidad's Mayaro district.[1][2] He made his first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago in January 2000, playing against Guyana in the 1999–00 Busta Cup.[3] Jan had his breakout season during the 2001–02 Busta Cup, scoring 528 runs from seven matches to finish as his team's leading run-scorer (and fourth in the competition).[4] Opening the batting with Andy Jackson against West Indies B, he scored what was to be his only first-class century, 110 runs from 199 balls.[5] Jan scored 563 runs from eight matches in the 2002–03 Busta Cup, the seventh-most in the competition and behind only Daren Ganga for Trinidad and Tobago.[6] As a bowler, his best performance came in the 2004–05 Regional One-Day Competition, where he took 13 wickets from seven matches to finish as the competition's leading wicket-taker.[7]

On 21 August 2021, he was appointed as the head coach of Trinbago Knight Riders for the 2021 Caribbean Premier League, as Brendon McCullum was unavailable for the season.[8]
