The West Indies Cricket Team , also known as The Windies or The West Indies for short , is one of the twelve national teams in the sport of cricket that play test cricket matches . It is one of the “national teams” that includes players from more than one state .
history
His first official test match against England took place at Lord's Cricket Ground in London from June 23 to 26, 1928. Between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s, the West Indies team was the world's dominant team in test and one-day cricket and also won the first two World Cups in 1975 and 1979; in 1983 they were only defeated in the final against outsiders India. In 2004 the team won the ICC Champions Trophy , but this was a "positive slip" in a downward spiral that began in the 1990s and continued until the tournament was won at the Twenty20 World Cup in 2012 .
The first major cricket tournament in the Caribbean was the 2007 Cricket World Cup , in which the West Indies performed disappointingly.
First-class teams
The area of the West Indies comprises most of the English-speaking Caribbean . Within this area there are six first-class teams competing for the “national” championship, some of which are again associations of smaller states or islands.
- Barbados
- Guyana
- Jamaica
- Leeward Islands ( Antigua and Barbuda , St. Kitts and Nevis , Anguilla , Montserrat , British Virgin Islands , US Virgin Islands and St. Maarten )
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Windward Islands ( Dominica , Grenada , St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines )
Other territories, such as the Bahamas or Bermuda, are not members of the West Indies Cricket Board , but independent members of the International Cricket Council with little sporting importance. Only Bermuda had the status of a One-Day International Team from January 1, 2006 to April 8, 2009 .
anthem
Since the team has the status of a national team at international games and tournaments and thus an anthem is played before the games, after the collapse of the West Indian Federation it was initially open which this should be. First of all, the national anthem of the state to which the captain belonged was played. In recent years, versions of the song "Rally Round the West Indies ... Now and Forever" composed in 1988 by the Trinidadian singer David Rudder have been used.
