Akenie Adams (born 5 February 1998) is a Guyanese cricketer.[1] He made his first-class debut for Guyana in the 2016–17 Regional Four Day Competition on 21 April 2017.[2]
Adams' brother, Anthony Adams is also a cricketer and both play for the Essequibo, right-handed, bowling left-arm[3] orthodox. Adams grew up in Suddie, playing cricket in his neighborhood along with his 5 siblings (including Anthony). He was encouraged to join a club and so took up with Santos Sports Club. Adams was a part of the under-15 Guyana team, then the under-19.[4]
Adams credits his brother as his inspiration, in an interview saying that his favorite memory of playing alongside his brother was "the 2016 Busta 40-over final where they added 85 for the seventh wicket for South Essequibo against East Bank Essequibo"[4]
