[4] Born in Barbados in 1962,[2] Reid made his List A debut when the USA took part in the 2000–01 Red Stripe Bowl, playing three of the team's four group matches in Jamaica.
[6] He did not play in the match against Canada, but was back in the side against his native Barbados,[5] taking his first senior wicket - that of West Indies Test batsman Adrian Griffith.
[7] He was retained against Trinidad & Tobago,[2] but failed to make any impression as the USA were bowled out for a paltry 62, which their opponents rushed past for the loss of one wicket in 31 balls.
[8] His next appearances were in early 2004, at the ICC 6 Nations Challenge tournament in Sharjah and Dubai[5] which the United States eventually won on net run rate.
[18] Reid last played for the US in the 2005 ICC Trophy[3] in Ireland,[5] but despite two half centuries his bowling was ineffective, and he took just one wicket from 42 overs[2] in a disastrous competition for the Americans which saw them lose all four of their group games (one more was abandoned), thus denying the USA a place at the 2007 World Cup.
