The West Indian cricket team, also known colloquially as the West Indies or the Windies, is a multi-nationalcricket team representing a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies.From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Testand One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs,Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhaiand Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players.As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games.
The West Indies have won the ICC Cricket World Cuptwice in 1975 and 1979, the ICC Champions Trophy once in 2004 and have been runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004 and have been semi finalist in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009. The first cricket team to win World Cup twice, their record was surpassed by 4 World Cup wins by Australia, and equaled by India in 2011. West Indies are also the first team to win back to back World Cups, since surpassed by 3 consecutive World Cup wins by Australia. West Indies is the first team to appear in 3 consecutive World Cup finals (1975, 1979 and 1983), since surpassed by 4 consecutive World Cup appearances by Australia (1996, 1999, 2003 & 2007).
The history of the West Indies cricket team began in the 1890s, when the first representative sides were selected to play visiting English sides. The WICB joined the sport’s international ruling body, theImperial Cricket Conference, in 1926, and played their first official international match, granted Teststatus, in 1928 thus becoming the fourth Test nation.
Although blessed with some great players in their early days as a Test nation, and beating England for the first time at Lord’s on 29 June 1950, their successes remained sporadic until the 1960s when the side changed from a white-dominated to a black-dominated side. By the 1970s, the West Indies had a side recognised as unofficial world champions, a reputation they retained throughout the 1980s.During these glory years, the Windies were noted for their four-man fast bowling attack, backed up by some of the best batsmen in the world.
The 1980s saw them set a then-record streak of 11 consecutive Test victories in 1984 and inflict two 5–0 “blackwashes” against the old enemy of England. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, however, West Indian cricket declined, largely due to the failure of the West Indian Cricket Board to move the game from an amateur pastime to a professional sport coupled with the general economic decline in West Indian countries, and the team today is struggling to regain its past glory. The West Indies are currently ranked 8th out of the 10 Test playing nations, and 9th in the One Day International rankings, which likewise only cover the 10 Test playing nations.
In their early days in the 1930s, the side represented the British colonies of the West Indies Federation plus British Guiana. The current side represents:
National teams also exist for the various different islands, which, as they are all separate countries, very much keep their local identities and support their local favourites. These national teams take part in the West Indian first-class competition, the Carib Beer Cup (earlier known as the Busta Cup, Shell Shield and various other names).[10] It is also common for other international teams to play the island teams for warm-up games before they take on the combined West Indies team.
Most cricketing nations use their own national flags for cricketing purposes. However, as the West Indies represent a number of independent and dependent states, there is no natural choice of flag. The WICB has therefore developed an insignia showing a palm tree and cricket stumps on a small sunny island. This insignia, on a maroon background, makes up the West Indian flag. The background sometimes has a white stripe above a green stripe, which is separated by a maroon stripe, passing horizontally through the middle of the background. Prior to 1999 the WICB(C) had used a similar insignia featuring a palm tree and an island, however there were no stumps and instead of the sun there was a constellation of stars (Orion).
The following eleven stadia have been used for at least one Test match. The number of Tests played at each venue followed by the number of One Day Internationals and twenty20 internationals played at that venue is in brackets:
- Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad (56/56/2)
Recognised as the ‘Mecca’ of West Indies cricket, The Queen’s Park Oval has hosted more Test matches than any other ground in the Caribbean and first hosted a Test match in 1930. The ground is considered one of the most picturesque venues in the world of cricket, featuring the view Trinidad’s Northern Range. It has a capacity of over 25,000.
- Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados (45/28/1)
Kensington Oval hosted the region’s first Test match in 1930. It also played host to the first-ever Test triple century, Andy Sandham’s 325. Its capacity has been increased from 15,000 to its current 28,000 for the 2007 World Cup. It hosted theWorld Cup final.
- Bourda in Georgetown, Guyana (30/11)
Bourda first hosted a Test match in 1930. It is the only Test ground in South America, and the only one below sea level and with its own moat (to prevent the pitch from frequent flooding). It has a capacity of around 22,000.
- Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica (44/29)
Sabina Park first hosted a Test match in 1930. The Blue Mountains, which are famed for their coffee, form the backdrop. Sabina Park played host to Garry Sobers’ then world-record 365 not out. In 1998 the Test against England was abandoned here on the opening day because the pitch was too dangerous. It has a capacity of 15,000.
- Antigua Recreation Ground in St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda (22/11)
Antigua Recreation Ground first hosted a Test in 1981. Three Test triple centuries have been scored on this ground: Chris Gayle’s 317 in 2005, and Brian Lara’s world record scores of 375 in 1994 and 400 not out in 2004. The historic stadium was removed from the roster of grounds hosting international matches in June 2006, in order to make way for the island’s new cricket stadium, being constructed 3 miles outside the capital city expected to be completed in time for its hosting of matches for Cricket World Cup 2007. However, after the abandoned Test match between England and the West Indies in February 2009 at the new North Sound ground, Test cricket returned to the ARG.

- Warner Park Stadium in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis (1/10/1)
The Warner Park Sporting Complex hosted its first One Day International on 23 May 2006 and its first Test match on 22 June 2006. The stadium has a permanent capacity of 8,000, with provisions for temporary stands to enable the hosting figure to past 10,000.

Four further stadia have been used for One Day Internationals, but not Test matches. The number of One Day Internationals played at each venue is in brackets:
- Albion Sports Complex in Albion, Berbice, Guyana (5)
- Mindoo Philip Park in Castries, St Lucia (2)
- The old ground of Queen’s Park in St George’s, Grenada (1)
- Windsor Park Stadium in Roseau, Dominica (2)
Windsor Park is another major cricket ground in the West Indies and home venue for the West Indian team.

It hosts first-class cricket but is yet to host its first test, however it held its firstOne Day International on 26 July 2009. It has a seating capacity of 12,000.
