West Indian national cricket captains 2206448 224172541 2008-07-07T17:31:15Z 72.27.80.228 /* Men's ODI captains */ updating after fourth and fifth ODI This is a '''list of all men, boys and women who have captained the [[West Indian cricket team]]''' at official international level in at least one match. The West Indies became a full member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the [[International Cricket Council]]) on 31 May 1926 at the same time as [[India cricket team|India]] and [[New Zealand cricket team|New Zealand]] were made up to full membership and played its first [[Test match]] in 1928 against [[England cricket team|England]] at [[Lord's]]. Their first game against other opposition came in 1930/31 when they played [[Australia cricket team|Australia]]. The West Indian team's greatest successes in [[One Day International]]s came in 1975 and 1979, when they won the [[Cricket World Cup]] under the captaincy of [[Clive Lloyd]], and in 2004 when they won the [[ICC Champions Trophy]] under the captaincy of [[Brian Lara]]. The West Indies’ most successful captains in Test cricket are [[Viv Richards]] (who has won 27 of his 50 Tests), Clive Lloyd (who won 36 of his 74 Tests), [[Frank Worrell]] (who won 9 of his 15 Tests) and [[Richie Richardson]] (who won 11 of his 24 Tests). In one-day internationals the West Indies’ most successful captain is Clive Lloyd, who won 64 of his 84 matches. [[Stephanie Power]] led the West Indies in to its best result in [[Women's ODI cricket]] when the team finished second in the 2003 [[International Women's Cricket Council Trophy]]. She also lead the team to a fifth place finish (their highest) in the 2005 [[Women's Cricket World Cup]]. Power is also the most successful women’s captain in one-day internationals, winning 13 of 25 matches. The only women’s captain to who has led her side to a victory in a women's Test match is [[Louise Brown]] in the 1976/77 Test series against India. In the mid-1980s there were two rebel West Indian tours to South Africa, which was at that time banned from official competition because of the apartheid régime then in force there. None of the matches from the rebel tours were recognised as official Test matches and all players who toured South Africa at the time were banned from official international cricket matches for life. The captains of those West Indian sides are also listed below. Prior to becoming a member of the ICC, the first combined West Indian team was formed in 1884<ref>[http://www.canadacricket.com/corantoarchives/news-archive-4-2007.html Canada Cricket online - scroll to "West Indies 1886 tour to Canada"]</ref> and toured Canada and the United States in 1886 under the captaincies of [[Charles Guy Austin Wyatt]] of Demerara<ref name="The Development of West Indies Cricket Google">[http://books.google.com/books?id=2mRjVQ9C9YwC&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=fyfe+jamaica+cricket&source=web&ots=gYWMZJEP8E&sig=AcfYED0O1grkmVUFPBM9EDNDecA The Development of West Indies Cricket Google Book results pages 22 and 23]</ref> and [[Laurence Fyfe]] of Jamaica<ref>[http://www.canadacricket.com/corantoarchives/news-archive-4-2007.html Canada Cricket online - scroll to "The first West Indies cricket tour"]</ref> (also vice captain under Wyatt).<ref name="The Development of West Indies Cricket Google" /> Combined West Indian teams have played more regular [[first-class cricket]] under the name “West Indies” since [[1897]] usually against amateur sides touring from England, such as [[John Egerton, 4th Earl of Ellesmere|Lord Brackley]]’s XI or [[Richard Bennett (cricketer)|RA Bennett]]’s XI, but from 1912 onwards the [[Marylebone Cricket Club|MCC]] also played on tour against the West Indies. The West Indies also toured England in [[West Indian cricket team in England in 1900|1900]], [[West Indian cricket team in England in 1906|1906]] and [[West Indian cricket team in England in 1923|1923]] with the opposition usually being various English first-class and minor county sides. Other opposition during these tours included amateur sides, the MCC, an England XI (once) and Scotland and Ireland (once each). Some of the matches played on the various West Indian tours of England were deemed not to be first-class matches. During this time (1897 to 1926) the various West Indies captains were [[Aucher Warner]], [[Stanley Sproston]] (non first-class matches only), [[Harold Austin]], [[Clement King]], [[Alfred Harrigan]], [[Edwin Moulder]], [[William Sherlock (cricketer)|William Sherlock]], [[Percy Tarilton]], [[Malcolm Austin]] and [[Karl Nunes]] ==Men's cricket== ===Test match captains=== This is a list of cricketers who have [[captain (cricket)|captained]] the [[West Indian cricket team]] for at least one [[Test cricket|Test match]]. The table of results is complete to the third and final Test against [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] in the [[Australian cricket team in the West Indies in 2008|2008 Australia tour of the West Indies]].

The Rest of the World teams that played in England and Australia in [[1970]] and [[1971]]/[[1972|2]] respectively were captained by a West Indian. [[World Series Cricket]] featured a West Indian side, and finally, there were two rebel West Indian tours to apartheid South Africa. ====Rest of the World, 1970 and 1971/2==== When the South African tour to England due to take place in 1970 was cancelled, five matches were arranged against a Rest of the World team, all of which were recognised as Tests at the time, although they were later stripped of Test status. A similar situation also arose with the proposed South African tour of Australia that was due to take place in 1971/2, when the Rest of the World team also played two one-day matches. (There were to be three games, but one was abandoned without a ball being bowled.) These matches do not have official ODI status. The Rest of the World team was captained by a West Indian, [[Garfield Sobers]]. {| class="wikitable" width="90%" ! bgcolor="#efefef" colspan=9 | Rest of the World Test match captains |- bgcolor="#efefef" !

Three sides were constructed: an Australian team, a West Indian team and a World team, with the World teams including some West Indians too. The teams played a mixture of unofficial Test matches, styled as Supertests, and unofficial ODIs. Unlike the Australian players, who were barred from playing official cricket until the rift was healed after the 1978/9 season, the West Indian players were permitted to play official cricket as well as compete in [[World Series Cricket]]. {| class="wikitable" width="90%" ! bgcolor="#efefef" colspan=9 | West Indian Supertest match captains |- bgcolor="#efefef" !

The West Indies Cricket Board banned all the tourists from cricket for life, and such was the furore caused by the visits that many of the cricketers ceased to be welcome in their home islands.
