West
Indies won its first Test Series against England in 1950. It was celebrated as
a national achievement.

(i) The West Indies team that won was captained by a White

1960, when Frank Worrell became the captain.
(ii) The West Indies cricket team represented not one
nation but several dominions that later became independent countries. The
pan-west Indian team that represents the Caribbean region in International test
cricket is the only exception to a series of unsuccessful efforts to bring about
West Indian unification.
