Allen played for the Windward Islands, and his two Test matches came on the West Indies tour of England in 1991. He made his debut at Lord's against England as a replacement for Patrick Patterson.[1] He took five wickets in total in his two Tests, his most important intervention coming at Trent Bridge when he ended a troublesome second-innings last-wicket stand by dismissing David Lawrence. The West Indies went onto win the match to draw level in the Test series,[2] although Allen then lost his place when Patterson returned from injury.
After playing Allen was reported to be interested in the post of West Indies coach in 2007.[3] Later he coached the Windward Islands.[4]
