The West Indian cricket team, also known colloquially as 'the West Indies' or 'the Windies', is a multi-national cricket team representing a sporting confederation of 15 mainly English-speaking Caribbean countries, British dependencies and non-British dependencies.

From the mid 1970s to the early 1990s, the West Indies team was one of the strongest in the world in both Test and One Day International cricket. A number of cricketers considered among the best in the world have hailed from the West Indies; Sir Garfield Sobers, Lance Gibbs, Gordon Greenidge, George Headley, Clive Lloyd, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, Alvin Kallicharran, Rohan Kanhai and Everton Weekes have all been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, while world-record holders Brian Lara and Sir Viv Richards were both West Indies Test players. As of 19 June 2009, the West Indian team has played 457 Test matches, winning 33.26%, losing 32.38% and drawing 34.13% of its games.

The West Indies have won the ICC Cricket World Cup twice in 1975 and 1979, the ICC Champions Trophy once in 2004 and have been runners up in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup in 2004 and have been semi finalist in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2009. First cricket team to win World Cup twice, surpassed by 4 World Cup wins by Australia. West Indies are also the first team to win back to back World Cups, since surpassed by 3 consecutive World Cup wins by Australia. West Indies is the first team to appear in 3 consecutive World Cup finals (1975, 1979 and 1983), since surpassed by 4 consecutive World Cup appearances by Australia (1996, 1999, 2003 & 2007).
