Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He played eight ODIs in the two series but failed to make an impression. His highest score was 40*. Despite this he was picked for the last Test match against India and this is when he shot to fame. With the repeated failures of the West Indies' batting, they desperately needed someone solid in the middle order. Edwards displayed remarkable maturity in his very first game. He was wrongly adjudged out in the first innings but he put it behind him and made a stubborn century in the second innings, becoming only the 14th West Indian batsman to score a century on his Test debut. This played a crucial part in West Indies securing a draw and more crucially, West Indies rejoiced at finding a number three with immense promise. Since then, he has scored one Test ton and four half centuries but after a poor run in 2012, has not featured in Test matches for West Indies.
Inconsistent batting performances coupled with injury scares have pushed Kirk Edwards far from the limelight.
Following a long hiatus, Edwards made his presence felt at the top of the order in New Zealand towards the close of 2013. Asked to open in the aftermath of the delayed arrival of Brathwaite, Edwards compiled fifties in the first Test tests to spark off a revival of sorts.
He followed it up with his maiden ODI ton-an aggressive 123, which sealed a mammoth win for West Indies. It will be interesting to see if Edwards can cash in on his second coming.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Kirk Edwards announced himself on the world stage in style, becoming only the 14th West Indian batsman to score a century on his Test debut, and in the process joining the likes of George Headley, Lawrence Rowe and Gordon Greenidge.
Born into a cricketing family, Kirk Edwards started playing the sport at a young age and raked in the runs at age-group-level cricket. After impressive performances as a top-order batsman for the Barbados Under-19 side, he was named vice-captain of West Indies Under-19s for the 2004 Youth World Cup. Two years later he made his first-class debut but had to wait till 2009 before hitting his maiden first-class hundred, against Windward Islands in Bridgetown. Edwards found a place in the West Indies A side that toured Bangladesh, Ireland and England in 2010, and made the opportunity count by scoring 147 in a 50-over match against England Lions at Northampton.
More runs for West Indies A, against Pakistan A on their tour of the West Indies, found him a place in West Indies' squad for their one-day series in Sri Lanka at the end of 2010 but the series was postponed due to unexpected rains in Sri Lanka. In February 2011, Edwards scored 171 against England Lions in Bridgetown in a first-class match, and a few days later was on a plane to India to replace an injured Adrian Barath in West Indies' 2011 World Cup squad. He played only one match during the tournament, but was included in the squad for the subsequent home one-day series against Pakistan and India. He made his Test debut in the final match of India's Test series in the West Indies in 2011, and his second-innings hundred has raised hopes that West Indies have found a quality middle-order batsman for Test cricket.
