In 1974, he was selected to tour England with the West Indies [under-19 cricket team|West Indies under-19s], playing three Test matches against the England under-19s. Knight opened the bowling with future West Indies international Wayne Daniel in the first match, and took 4/52 and 4/42, dismissing future England internationals Chris Tavaré and Mike Gatting in both innings. In the second Test, he took 3/61 and 8/86, finishing with match figures of 11/147. Both his second-innings figures and his match figures set new records for under-19 Test cricket.

Despite his performance at that level, his career in senior West Indian domestic cricket was limited to just two matches, both of which came in the 1977–78 [Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy]. He appeared in both of Barbados' matches at the tournament, against Jamaica and the Windward [Islands cricket team|Windward Islands].
