West Indies National Cricket Team

The history of the West Indies cricket team is tied to colonialism, nationalism, and migration. In 1930, during their first home series, West Indies had four white captains, each from a British colony hosting the game. Despite this, the team had potential, with stars like George Headley and Learie Constantine leading them to their first Test win.

In 1960, Frank Worrell became their first non-white captain, sparking a powerful era. For much of the late 20th century, West Indies dominated world cricket, especially with legends like Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards. Although they’ve struggled since, their T20 stars, like Chris Gayle, remain iconic.
