A fast bowler, Maynard made an immediate impression on his List A debut (in the Geddes Grant Shield) for the Leeward Islands against Trinidad and Tobago in February 1992.
[2] Maynard came to international prominence while playing against the 1993–94 England touring side when he participated in two warm-up match before the Test series.
In the first, representing St Kitts and Nevis, he took three of the England top order wickets in the first innings, dismissing Michael Atherton, Matthew Maynard and Nasser Hussain.
"[1] In 2006, Maynard returned to cricket and made a real impression in the inaugural Stanford 20/20 tournament in the West Indies.
An editor wrote in 2007: "One might even go so far as to suggest he is the most famous West Indian fast bowler never to have played a Test, although very close on many occasions to be selected due to his raw pace and aggression.
"[4] Maynard himself was to say that he was always very close to receiving a Test call-up, but was pipped by Ottis Gibson, Vasbert Drakes and Nixon McLean.
