The Trinidad and Tobago national cricket team is the representative cricket team of the country of Trinidad and Tobago. The team competes under the franchise name, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in the Cricket West Indies' Professional Cricket League which comprises both the Regional Four Day Competition and the Regional Super50.[2] Trinidad has also won a sum of 13 regional one day titles, which is the most in the history of West Indies cricket.[3] [4]
The most prominent T&T cricketers include Jeffrey Stollmeyer, Sonny Ramadhin, Deryck Murray, Charlie Davis, Larry Gomes, Rangy Nanan, Gus Logie, Ian Bishop, Brian Lara, Mervyn Dillon, Daren Ganga, Ravi Rampaul, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin and Samuel Badree.
Teams from Trinidad played first-class cricket from 1869, when Trinidad took on Demerara for two matches, winning one and losing one. They also participated in the Inter-Colonial Tournament between Barbados, British Guiana (formerly Demerara), and themselves, playing in all 28 tournaments that were held between 1891–92 and 1938–39. From the late 1880s, Tobago was incorporated into the crown colony of Trinidad as a ward.
After independence in 1962, the team changed its name to reflect the official name of the country, Trinidad and Tobago, and when the Shell Shield began in 1965–66 the team competed under the name of Trinidad and Tobago. They won their first title on their fourth outing, in 1969–70, and also won the next year's competition, but since then Trinidad and Tobago have only taken three titles in 35 seasons. During this time cricketers from Trinidad competed in the Beaumont Cup which had first class status.
Trinidad and Tobago won four one day titles in eight seasons from 1989–90 to 1996–97 and another four in six seasons from 2004–05 to 2009-10. As well they won consecutive titles in the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons with yet another title in the 2020-21 season. Such said Trinidad have won the most regional one day championships, being 13 with one shared and 12 outright titles.
T&T also featured in and were runners-up at the inaugural Champions' league T-20. The Trinbagonians eventually won a total of 3 Caribbean T20 championships.
