Add article description

The Windward Islands cricket team is a composite team representing the member associations of the Windward Islands Cricket Board of Control, which itself is a member association of the larger West Indies Cricket Board. The team incorporates players from several small islands in the Lesser Antilles, an island arc in the Caribbean Sea. These countries are Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which, from 1940, made up the British Windward Islands colony (sustained until 1958).[note 1] Although matches were played in the islands from the late 19th century,[1] a combined team was not formed until the early 1950s, when semi-annual matches against a representative Leeward Islands team commenced.[2] The Windwards played its first match at first-class level in December 1959, against a touring English side.[3]

The flags of the four constituent members of the Windward Islands Cricket Association. Clockwise, from top left: Dominica, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

For the inaugural 1965–66 season of the Shell Shield, the Leewards and Windwards associations together entered a "Combined Islands" team, an arrangement which persisted on and off until the 1981–82 season, when the associations began to consistently enter separate teams.[4] However, the Windwards still played regularly at first-class level during this time, against other West Indian domestic teams and touring international teams.[3] Since its re-entry into the main domestic first-class competition, the team has played every season,[5] although the team has never won the competition.[6] In total, the Leewards have played 229 first-class matches, winning 48, drawing 66, losing 115, and having eight matches abandoned.[7] Of these, 183 matches were played in the main West Indian domestic competition.[8] A total of 185 players have played at least one first-class match for the team since its debut.[9]

Notes and references

Notes
  1. [N 1]
    Dominica is geographically part of the Leeward Islands chain, but from 1940 was associated with the Windwards colony both politically and in cricketing terms. Barbados, although geographically part of the Windward Islands chain, was made a separate colony in 1885, and competes as a separate team in West Indian domestic cricket.
  2. [N 2]
    The captains for three matches—during the 1960–61, 1986–87, and 2000 seasons—are unaccounted for.
