History
The
West Indies B played a total of 28 matches across four seasons, winning just four matches during that time.[5] In the 2000–01 Busta Cup, the team placed seventh out of eight teams, winning only against the Windward Islands (by 162 runs).[6] West Indies B finished eighth the following season, again winning only once (defeating Bangladesh A by 59 runs).[7] The team was winless in the 2002–03 Carib Beer Cup,[8] but in the 2003–04 Carib Beer Cup won two matches to finish sixth overall.[9] It had a higher turnover of players during its four seasons, with only nine players playing more than one season with the team.[10]
In a reorganisation of West Indian cricket prior to the 2004–05 season, it was decided to disband West Indies B and return to the old format of six regional teams, which had last been used during the 1995–96 season. The extended competitions were said to have "burdened a financially insecure organisation with heavy running costs", while also diluting the standard of play.[11]
It was reconstituted in June 2018 for participation in the inaugural Global T20 Canada competition[1] where upon it won four and lost two of its six matches in the group stage to enter the playoff stage. It won its first playoff (against eventual champions Vancouver Knights) to enter the final which it lost to the same team. In total the team played 8 matches in the tournament, of which it won 5 and lost 3.
