With prominent cricketers who've played for the Windward Islands including Sunil Ambris, Cameron Cuffy, Casper Davis, Winston Davis, Delorn Johnson, Obed McCoy, Nixon McLean, Junior Murray, Darren Sammy, Shane Shillingford, Devon Smith, Wilf Slack and Kesrick Williams.

The Windward Islands team is the least successful of the six West Indian first class teams, having failed to win a first-class title and with four one-day titles in 37 attempts.

On a few occasions, all in the one-day Red Stripe Bowl competition, two teams have represented the Windwards.
