'''Peter Jeffrey Leroy Dujon''' (born 28 May 1956) is a retired West Indian [[cricket]]er and current commentator. He was a part of the West Indian squad which finished as [[1983 Cricket World Cup final|runners-up]] at the [[1983 Cricket World Cup]].

He was the [[wicket-keeper]] for the [[West Indies cricket team]] of the 1980s, an athletic presence behind the stumps as well as a competent middle order batsman.

Dujon attended [[Wolmer's Schools]].<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/2374848/West-Indies-a-small-world-of-cricketing-connections.html "West Indies a small world of cricketing connections", Scyld Berry, The Daily Telegraph, 15 March 2004]</ref> Dujon made his [[First-class cricket|first-class]] debut in 1974, and [[Test cricket|Test]] debut in 1981. During his nineteen-year career, Dujon played 200 first-class matches for [[Jamaica national cricket team|Jamaica]] and the West Indies. He scored nearly 10,000 runs at an average approaching 40 runs per innings, an impressive statistic when compared with other specialist wicket-keepers over time, as well as completing 447 catches and 22 stumpings. In total, he won 81 Test caps for the West Indies and was never a part of any losing series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.sportskeeda.com/cricket/greatest-wicketkeepers-of-all-time-jeff-dujon|title=Greatest Wicketkeepers of all time: Jeff Dujon|author=Divyajeevan Satpathy|date=6 February 2013 |access-date=10 Jul 2017|language=en}}</ref>

Dujon was one of five [[Wisden Cricketers of the Year]] in 1989 and since retiring as a player in 1992, has worked as assistant coach to the West Indies national team and in development of young cricket players in his native Jamaica.
