Maroon West Indies blazer with white and green striped trim. Embroidered West Indies crest on left breast pocket featuring a mountain and palm tree. ‘New Zealand 1955-1956’ in silver thread beneath crest.
Sonny Ramadhin helped bowl West Indies to a famous Test victory over England at Lord’s in 1950. Ramadhin came from the Indian community of Trinidad. The vast diversity of national and ethnic communities within the West Indies has added much to the flavour of Caribbean cricket. But internecine rivalries and allegations of favouritism have also made the forging of a unified team spirit problematic.
