Knight was born in Saint Michael Parish, Barbados.[1] In 1974, he was selected to tour England with the West Indies under-19s, playing three Test matches against the England under-19s. Knight opened the bowling with future West Indies international Wayne Daniel in the first match, and took 4/52 and 4/42, dismissing future England internationals Chris Tavaré and Mike Gatting in both innings. In the second Test, he took 3/61 and 8/86, finishing with match figures of 11/147.[2] Both his second-innings figures and his match figures set new records for under-19 Test cricket.[3][4] Knight finished with 25 wickets from his three under-19 Tests.[2] Despite his performance at that level, his career in senior West Indian domestic cricket was limited to just two matches, both of which came in the 1977–78 Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy. He appeared in both of Barbados' matches at the tournament, against Jamaica and the Windward Islands.[5]
