Domestic career

Beaton was born on the island of Montserrat, but moved to Guyana as a child, and was raised in the village of Reliance, in the Pomeroon-Supenaam region.[1] He attended high school in Georgetown, at the Abram Zuil Secondary School, and later went on to the Guyana School of Agriculture.[2] Beaton played for the West Indies under-19s at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup in Australia, and finished third in his team's wicket-taking.[3] He had made his first-class debut for Guyana the previous year, during the 2010–11 Regional Four Day Competition.[4] Beaton has since been a regular for Guyana in both the long and short forms of the game, as well as for his CPL franchise. He has also made several appearances for West Indies A.[5][6]

For the 2018 CPL competition, he was reselected by the Trinbago Knight Riders in the 10th round of the player draft.[7] In October 2019, he was named in Guyana's squad for the 2019–20 Regional Super50 tournament.[8]

International career

In May 2017, he was named in the West Indies' Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against Afghanistan, but he did not play.[9] In November 2017, he was named in the West Indies' One Day International (ODI) and T20I squads for their series against New Zealand.[10] He made his ODI debut for the West Indies against New Zealand on 20 December 2017.[11] However, he was later ruled out of the T20I squad due to injury.[12]
