In June 2018, he was named the Emerging Cricketer of the Year at the annual Cricket West Indies' Awards.[10] In October 2018, Cricket West Indies (CWI) awarded him a development contract for the 2018–19 season.[11][12]
International career
On 9 March 2018, Paul was added to the West Indies squad for the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament, after Sheldon Cottrell suffered an injury.[13] He made his One Day International (ODI) debut for the West Indies against Afghanistan in the World Cup Qualifier on 15 March 2018.[14]
