The younger brother of Kjorn Ottley,[1] Yannick Ottley played for the West Indies under-19s at the 2010 Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. He was named vice-captain to Jamaica's Andre Creary,[2] and captained the team in matches against Papua New Guinea and Bangladesh when Creary injured a groin. Those two matches were in fact Ottley's only games of the tournament, as he struggled with a thigh strain.[3] The previous year, in October 2009, Ottley had also captained the West Indies under-19s at the 2009–10 WICB President's Cup, where matches held List A status.[4]
Ottley made his first-class debut at the 2011–12 Regional Four Day Competition, playing for the Combined Campuses team.[5] He switched to his home team, Trinidad and Tobago, for the 2012–13 season, and has since been a regular in the side. He made appearances for Trinidad and Tobago at the 2012 and 2013 Champions League Twenty20 tournaments, but has not yet been signed to a Caribbean Premier League franchise.[6] During the 2015–16 Regional Four Day Competition, Ottley substituted for Rayad Emrit as captain during his time overseas.[7] Later in the season, he came close to scoring a maiden first-class century, hitting 99 not out against the Windward Islands.[8]
He was the joint-leading wicket-taker in the 2018–19 Regional Super50 tournament, with seventeen dismissals in nine matches.[9] In August 2019, Cricket West Indies named him as the Super 50 Player of the Year.[10] In November 2019, he was named as the vice-captain of Trinidad and Tobago for the 2019–20 Regional Super50 tournament.[11] In February 2020, in the fourth round of the 2019–20 West Indies Championship, Ottley scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[12]
