West Indian cricket
West Indian cricket refers to the cricket teams from the Caribbean nations, collectively known as the West Indies. Historically, they have been a dominant force in international cricket, especially during the 1970s and 1980s, known for their aggressive batting and fast bowling. The team competes in Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and T20s. Their success is rooted in a rich cricketing culture across islands like Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, and others. Despite periods of decline, West Indies cricket remains influential, symbolizing regional pride and producing legendary players like Viv Richards, Brian Lara, and Chris Gayle.
