Jangoo made his competitive debut in a List A match for the West Indies Under-19s in January 2015 at the Regional Super50.[1] His first-class debut for Trinidad and Tobago was in April 2017 at the Regional Four Day Competition.[2] In July 2020, he was named in the Trinbago Knight Riders squad for the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.[3][4] He made his Twenty20 debut on 2 September 2020, for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2020 CPL.[5]

In December 2024, he was named first time in West Indies ODI squad against Bangladesh.[6][7][8] He made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 12 December 2024, against Bangladesh in 3rd ODI of the same series.[9] He scored an unbeaten century (104) on his international debut and he became the second West Indian player to score a century on ODI debut.[10][11]

During the first test against Sri Lanka in June 2026, Jangoo hit his maiden test century, off 226 balls.[12] He converted this hundred into a maiden double hundred, during a marathon 401 run stand for the 6th wicket with captain Roston Chase, the largest stand for the sixth wicket in Test cricket history.[13][14] He was eventually dismissed for 233.
