Barbados is a member of the [[West Indies Cricket Board]] (WICB), which is a member of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC) in its own right, and Barbadians play internationally for the [[West Indies cricket team]].

Barbados does not take part in any international competitions (the [[Cricket at the 1998 Commonwealth Games|1998 Commonwealth Games tournament]] being an exception), but rather in inter-regional competitions in the [[Caribbean]], such as the Professional Cricket League (which includes the [[Regional Four Day Competition]] and the [[Regional Super50]]). The team competes in the Professional Cricket League under the franchise name '''Barbados Pride'''.

The most prominent Barbadian cricketers, all of whom have played for the West Indies, include [[Conrad Hunte]], [[Wes Hall]], [[Charlie Griffith]], [[David Holford]], [[Joel Garner]], [[Gordon Greenidge]], [[Desmond Haynes]], [[Jason Holder]], [[Malcolm Marshall]], [[Garry Sobers]], [[Seymour Nurse]], [[Kemar Roach]], [[Wayne Daniel]], [[Shai Hope]], [[Clyde Walcott]], [[Everton Weekes]] and [[Frank Worrell]].
