TheWest Indies cricket team, nicknamed theWindies,[10] is a men'scricket team representing theWest Indies—a group of mainlyEnglish-speaking countries and territories in the Caribbean region—and administered byCricket West Indies. The players are selected from a chain of fifteen Caribbean nation-states and territories. As of 25 March 2025[update], the West Indies cricket team is ranked eighth inTests, ninth inODIs, and fifth inT20Is in the officialICC rankings.[11]
From the mid-late 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was the strongest in the world in bothTest andOne Day International cricket. A number of cricketers who were considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies: 21 have been inducted into theICC Cricket Hall of Fame.[12][13]
The West Indies have won the ICCCricket World Cup twice (1975 and 1979, when it was styled the Prudential Cup), theICC T20 World Cup twice (2012 and 2016, when it was styled World Twenty20), theICC Champions Trophy once (2004), theICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup once (2016), and have also finished as runners-up in the Cricket World Cup (1983), the Under 19 Cricket World Cup (2004), and the ICC Champions Trophy (2006). The West Indies appeared in three consecutive World Cup finals (1975, 1979 and 1983), and were the first team to win back-to-back World Cups (1975 and 1979), both of these records have been surpassed only by Australia, who appeared in four consecutive World Cup Finals (1996, 1999, 2003 and 2007).
The West Indies have hosted the2007 Cricket World Cup the2010 ICC World Twenty20, and co-hosted (with theUnited States) the2024 ICC T20 World Cup.
The current team represents:[14]
Kingdom of the Netherlands

Cricket West Indies, the governing body of the team, consists of the six cricket associations ofBarbados,Guyana,Jamaica, theLeeward Islands,Trinidad and Tobago, and theWindward Islands. TheLeeward Islands Cricket Association consists of three cricket associations from two sovereign states (one from Antigua and Barbuda, and two from Saint Kitts and Nevis), three British Overseas Territories (Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, and Montserrat), one U.S. territory (the U.S. Virgin Islands), and one Dutch constituent country (Sint Maarten). TheWindward Islands Cricket Board of Control consists of associations of four sovereign states (Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines).
Two more British Overseas Territories in the region that have once been historical parts of the former West Indies Federation, theCayman Islands and theTurks and Caicos Islands, have their own national teams currently.
National teams also exist for the various 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 Indianfirst-class competition, theRegional Four Day Competition (earlier known as theBusta Cup,Shell Shield,Carib Beer Cup, and various other names).[15] 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.
The combined population of these countries and territories is around 6 million people, comparable to fellow Full MembersNew Zealand andIreland, and prominent Associate MemberScotland. Between 1928 and 2022 among the 385 men to play for West Indies, 67.8% hailed from either Barbados (98 players, 25.5%), Jamaica (83 players, 21.6%) or Trinidad and Tobago (83 players, 21.6%).[16]
The member associations of Cricket West Indies are:
The history of the West Indies cricket team began in the 1890s, when the first representative sides were selected to play visitingEnglish sides. The WICB joined the sport's international ruling body, theImperial Cricket Conference, in 1926,[17] and played their first official international match, grantedTest status, in 1928,[18] thus becoming the fourth Test 'nation'. In their early days in the 1930s, the side represented the British colonies that would later form theWest Indies Federation plusBritish Guiana.
The last series the West Indies played before the outbreak of theSecond World War was against England in 1939. There followed a hiatus that lasted until January 1948 when the MCC toured the West Indies.[19] Of the West Indies players in that first match after the war onlyGerry Gomez,George Headley,Jeffrey Stollmeyer, andFoffie Williams had previously played Test cricket.[20] In 1948, leg spinnerWilfred Ferguson became the first West Indian bowler to take ten wickets in a Test, finishing with 11/229 in a match against England;[21] later that same yearHines Johnson became the first West Indies fast bowler to achieve the feat, managing 10/96 against the same opponents.[22]
The West Indies defeated England for the first time atLord's on 29 June 1950. Ramadhin and Alf Valentine were the architects of the victory which inspired a calypso by Lord Beginner. Later on 16 August 1950, completed a 3–1 series win when they won atThe Oval. Although blessed with some great players in their early days as a Test team, their successes remained sporadic until the 1960s when the side changed from a white-dominated to a black-dominated side under the successive captaincies ofFrank Worrell andGary Sobers.
The team won theinaugural World Cup in England in 1975, and successfully defended the title in1979.[23] By the late 1970s, the West Indies led byClive Lloyd had a side recognised as unofficial world champions, a reputation they retained throughout the 1980s.[24] During these glory years, the West Indies were noted for their four-manfast bowling attack, backed up by some of the bestbatsmen in the world. In 1976, fast bowlerMichael Holding took 14/149 in the OvalTest against England, setting a record which still stands for best bowling figures in a Test by a West Indies bowler.[25][26] The 1980s saw the team set a then-record streak of 11 consecutive Test victories in 1984 and inflict two 5–0 "blackwashes" on England.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, however, West Indian cricket declined, largely owing 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 struggling to retain its past glory. Victory in the 2004 Champions Trophy and a runner-up showing in the 2006 Champions Trophy left some hopeful, but it was not until the inception ofTwenty20 cricket that the West Indies began to regain a place among the cricketing elite and among cricket fans, as they developed ranks of players capable of taking over games with their power hitting, includingChris Gayle,Kieron Pollard,Marlon Samuels,Lendl Simmons,DJ Bravo,Andre Russell andCarlos Brathwaite. They beat Australia and then host Sri Lanka in the2012 World Twenty20 to win their first ICC world championship since the 1979 World Cup and then bested England to win the2016 World Twenty20, making them the first team to win the World Twenty20 twice.[27][28] As an added bonus, the West Indies also became the first to win both the men's and women's World Twenty20 on the same day, as the women's team beat three-time defending champion Australia for their first ICC world title immediately beforehand. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the team did not qualify for the2023 World Cup after losing toScotland in theSuper Six stage of the Qualifiers.[23]
Most cricketing nations use their own national flags for cricketing purposes. However, as the West Indies represent a number of independent states and dependencies, 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 (see the top of this article). The 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.[29] Prior to 1999, the WICB(C) had used asimilar insignia featuring acabbage palm tree and an island, but there were no stumps and, instead of the sun, there was theconstellation Orion. It was designed in 1923 by Sir Algernon Aspinall, then Secretary of theWest India Committee.[30] Around the same time in the 1920s the suggested motto for the West Indies team was "Nec curat Orion leones", which comes from a quote byHorace, meaning that Orion, as symbolical of the West Indies XI, does not worry about the lions [of English cricket].[31]
For ICC tournaments, an adapted version of "Rally 'Round the West Indies" byDavid Rudder is used as the team's anthem.[32]
The following eleven stadiums have been used for at least one Test match.[33] 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 as of 2 April 2021:
Three further stadia have been used for One Day Internationals,[35] or Twenty20 Internationals but not Test matches. The number of One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals played at each venue is shown in the table below:
The following four stadiums have been used for at least one international match other than Test matches.[36]

When playing one-day cricket, the West Indies cricket team wear a maroon-coloured shirt and trousers. The shirt also sports the logo of the West Indian Cricket Board and the name of their suppliersMacron. The one-day cap is maroon with the WICB logo on the left of the front, with two yellow stripes.[39]
When playingT20I cricket, the team dons a yellow-coloured shirt with maroon-coloured sleeves, with two stripes of sky blue and yellow. The shirt also features the logo of the manufacturer along with the crest of the Cricket Board.[40]
When playing first-class cricket, in addition to theircricket flannels West Indian fielders sometimes wear a maroon sunhat with a wide brim or a maroon baggy cap. The WICB logo is on the front of the hat. Helmets are coloured similarly. The sweater was edged with Maroon, green and grey. Gold was added to the stripes in the early 2000s. The design reverted to a simple maroon facing when the West Indies began wearing fleeces. In 2020 they again wore the traditional cable knit sweaters edged with Maroon and Green. When the team toured they wore maroon caps but in test matches in the Caribbean, it was customary for the team to wear dark blue caps until the late 1970s. The blazers awarded for home tests were dark blue with white and green facings. An example is displayed in the museum at Lord's. After 1977 home and away teams both wore maroon caps and the blazers were the same colours.
DuringWorld Series Cricket, coloured uniforms were adopted. The initial West Indies uniform was pink and was later changed to maroon to match their Test match caps. Grey was also added as a secondary colour. In some of their uniforms grey has been dominant over the traditional maroon. Some uniforms had green, yellow or white as accent colour.[41]
Former uniform suppliers wereCastore (2019–2023),[42]BLK (2017–2019),Joma (2015–2017),[43] Woodworm (2008–2015),[44][45]Admiral (2000–2005),[46]Asics (1999 World Cup), UK Sportsgear (1997–1998),[47]ISC (1992–1996) andAdidas (1979–1991).
Former sponsors wereSandals (2018–2021),Digicel (2005–2018),[48]KFC (2006–2009),[49]Cable & Wireless (2000–2004),[50]Carib Beer (1999–2001)[51] andKingfisher (1996–1999).[52][53]
The West Indies women's cricket team have a much lower profile than the men's team. They played elevenTest matches between 1975–76 and 1979, winning once, losing three times, and drawing seven. Since then, they have only played one further Test match, a drawn game againstPakistan in 2003–04.[54] They also have an infrequent record in One Day Internationals. A team from Trinidad and Tobago and a team from Jamaica played in the first women's World Cup in 1973, with both sides faring poorly, finishing fifth and sixth respectively out of a field of seven.[55] The Windies united as a team to play their first ODI in 1979, but thereafter did not play until the 1993 World Cup. Although the side has never been a world leader, they finished runner-up in the 2013 World Cup and since have improved reasonably well. Their greatest success was achieving second place in the 2003 International Women's Cricket Council Trophy, a competition for the second tier of women's national cricket teams. Their overall record in one-dayers is to have played 177, won 80, lost 91 with one tie and 5 no results.[56]
Because of the women's side's relatively low profile, there are few well-known names in the game. The most notable is probablyNadine George, awicket-keeper/batsman, whose century inKarachi, Pakistan, in 2003-2004 is the only Test century scored by a West Indian woman. George is a prominent supporter of sport in the West Indies, and in particular, in her nativeSt Lucia, and in 2005 was made anMBE by the Prince of Wales for services to sport.[57]
2016 saw the West Indies women win their first ICC world championship – the2016 Women's World Twenty20, after beating three-time defending champion Australia by eight wickets atEden Gardens with members of the men's team in the crowd to support.[58][59][60]

A British documentary film entitledFire in Babylon was released in 2010. The documentary featuredarchival footage and interviews with several cricketers. The film was written and directed byStevan Riley and was nominated for a British Independent Film Award for Best Documentary.[84]
The documentary was about the domination of West Indies team of 1970s and 1980s, widely regarded as one of the greatest cricket teams in the history having not lost a Test series for fifteen years. It revolves around how the West Indies triumphed over its former colonial masters ofEngland and racism in those days against black people.[85][86]
Quite a number of calypsos mention the West Indian cricket. SeeList of calypso songs about cricket.
