West Indies cricket is comprised of 15 mostly English-speaking island countries in the Caribbean. There are two different leagues: Premier League and First-class cricket, and they are not comprised of the same countries.
Six national teams play First-class cricket toward the West Indies Championship: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Leeward Islands*, and the Windward Islands†. Barbados are the defending champions. They also compete in the Super50 Cup (T50) championship. Trinidad and Tobago are the defending champions.
Six teams play Premier League Twenty20 cricket toward the Caribbean Premier League tournament: Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, Jamaica Tallawahs, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Saint Lucia Kings, and Trinbago (Trinidad and Tobago) Knight Riders. Trinbago Knight Riders are the defending champions.

That team is comprised of players from the various West Indies countries and will play seven test matches in 2024: three against England in July, two against South Africa in August, and two against Bangladesh in November. They also play international T20 games.
