CJ Amini hails from a storied lineage of Papua New Guinea cricket royalty. As the third generation in his family to represent PNG, cricket runs deep in his blood. His grandfather Brian and father Charles both captained the national men’s team, while his mother Kune led the women’s side. His older brother Chris also served as men’s captain, and his aunt Cheryl, along with his other brother Colin, played for representative PNG teams. With such a rich family heritage, CJ’s path in cricket was almost predestined.

Living up to the family legacy, CJ has been a crucial figure in PNG’s journey to securing ODI status since 2014 and navigating the challenging years that followed. For many years, he served as vice-captain to Assad Vala, contributing with leg-spin bowling and delivering timely batting performances, establishing himself as a leader both on and off the field.

Amini is perhaps best known for his electrifying fielding skills. Whether pulling off spectacular one-handed catches or showcasing lightning-fast speed to the ball and executing direct hits at the stumps, his fielding prowess has made him a player opponents dare not take risks against.

By age 30, CJ Amini ranked among PNG’s top five wicket-takers and run-scorers in both ODIs and T20Is. The only major accolade yet to come his way is full-time captaincy of the national side—a role many believe is only a matter of time before he assumes.
