'''Wavell Wayne Hinds''' (born 7 September 1976) is a Jamaican politician and former [West Indian](/source/West_Indies_cricket_team) international [cricket](/source/cricket)er. He was a left-handed [batsman](/source/Batting_(cricket)) and occasional right-arm medium-pace [bowler](/source/Bowling_(cricket)).

Hinds played 45 [Test match](/source/Test_cricket)es for the West Indies between 2000 and 2005, and 119 [One Day International](/source/One_Day_International)s between 1999 and 2010. He also played five [Twenty20 International](/source/Twenty20_International)s between 2006 and 2010. He was a member of the West Indies team that won the [2004 ICC Champions Trophy](/source/2004_ICC_Champions_Trophy). He was appointed president of the [West Indies Players' Association](/source/West_Indies_Players'_Association) (WIPA) in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/558926.html |title=Ramnarine resigns as WIPA chief |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=27 March 2012 |access-date=28 November 2015}}</ref>

==International career==
On 17 March 2000 Hinds made his Test debut in the second test against [Zimbabwe](/source/Zimbabwean_cricket_team) at the [Queen's Park Oval](/source/Queen's_Park_Oval), [Port of Spain](/source/Port_of_Spain), [Trinidad and Tobago](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago).<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 March 2000 |title=Flower steadies shaky Zimbabwe |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/cricket/681742.stm |access-date=2023-03-19 |publisher=[BBC News](/source/BBC_News)}}</ref> On 2 April 2000 Hinds scored his maiden ODI century, 116 not out, against the Zimbabweans in the second game of the [2000 Cable & Wireless ODI Series](/source/2000_Cable_%26_Wireless_ODI_Series).<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 April 2000 |title=Hinds smashes maiden century |url=http://dev.go-jamaica.com/gleaner/20000403/sports/s2.html |access-date=2023-03-19 |website=dev.go-jamaica.com |publisher=[Jamaica Gleaner](/source/Jamaica_Gleaner)}}</ref> On 19 May 2000 he notched his first [Test Match](/source/test_cricket) century, 165 against [Pakistan](/source/Pakistan_cricket_team), in the second test at [Barbados](/source/Barbados)' [Kensington Oval](/source/Kensington_Oval).<ref>{{Cite news |date=2000-05-20 |title=Hinds scores 165|work=The Globe and Mail |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hinds-scores-165/article25463156/ |access-date=2023-03-19}}</ref>

During the 5th test of the [West Indies' 2000-01 tour of Australia](/source/West_Indian_cricket_team_in_Australia_in_2000%E2%80%9301), Hinds put on an opening stand of 147 with [Sherwin Campbell](/source/Sherwin_Campbell). This became the highest opening partnership for the Windies in Australia, surpassing 135 notched by both [Gordon Greenidge](/source/Gordon_Greenidge) and [Desmond Haynes](/source/Desmond_Haynes) in the 1988–89 season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2 January 2001 |title=Cricket: Australia back in contention |url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/cricket/2001/0102/153364-australia/ |publisher=[RTÉ](/source/RT%C3%89)}}</ref> For the next few years Hinds formed a notable opening pairing with [Chris Gayle](/source/Chris_Gayle). In Tests they put on 1300 runs together at 39.39 in 33 innings. Their ODI opening partnership saw them compile 1687 runs in 41 matches at an average of 41.15 with four century and five 50 plus stands.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rajesh |first=S |date=23 June 2006 |title=The Gayle-Ganga opening act, and England's profligacy |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-gayle-ganga-opening-act-and-england-s-profligacy-251176 |access-date=2023-03-19 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Rajesh |first=S |date=3 November 2006 |title=The best opening pair in ODIs |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/the-best-opening-pair-in-odis-266709 |access-date=2023-03-19 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>

In 2003 he made successive ODI hundreds against Australia at Grenada, both unbeaten and both in victories for the West Indies.

He later picked up figures of 2 for 24 against Pakistan, with his medium pace, in the [2004 ICC Champions Trophy](/source/2004_ICC_Champions_Trophy) semi final and career best figures of 3 for 24 from 10 overs against [England](/source/England_cricket_team), in the [final](/source/2004_ICC_Champions_Trophy_Final), which was eventually won by the Windies.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Adamson |first=Mike |date=2004-09-22 |title=Windies cruise into final|work=[The Guardian](/source/The_Guardian)|location=London |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/sep/22/cricket.westindiescricketteam |access-date=2023-03-20 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-09-25 |title=September 25 2004: West Indies stun England to win Champions Trophy |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/september-25-2004-west-indies-stun-england-to-win-champions-trophy/story-bx6L5400PqL0g0PaNxS6PP.html |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=[Hindustan Times](/source/Hindustan_Times)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2004-09-25 |title=Windies clinch Trophy glory|publisher=[BBC Sport](/source/BBC_Sport) |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/3686700.stm |access-date=2023-03-20}}</ref>

His highest Test score of 213 was made against South Africa at Georgetown in 2005 and included 34 fours and 2 sixes. He put on 284 for the 4th wicket with [Shivnarine Chanderpaul](/source/Shivnarine_Chanderpaul) who also made a double hundred making it one of the few occasions where two players have passed 200 in the same innings. Hinds however struggled soon after and again found himself on the sidelines. He made a brief return to the side in May for an ODI series against India but failed to impress and lost any chance he had of gaining inclusion in the World Cup squad.

==Domestic career==
In October 2007, he signed a one-year contract to feature, in the 2008 season, as a [Kolpak](/source/Kolpak_ruling) player for English county side [Derbyshire](/source/Derbyshire_County_Cricket_Club).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/316516.html |title=Derbyshire snap up Hinds |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=23 October 2007 |access-date=23 October 2007}}</ref>

He played in the [Indian Cricket League](/source/Indian_Cricket_League) for the Ahmedabad Rockets in the first half of 2008, although he did not return in season 2.<ref>http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/icl2008/content he was recently released by [Derbyshire County Cricket Club](/source/Derbyshire_County_Cricket_Club)
/story/373840.html</ref>

==Politics==
Hinds is a member of the [People's National Party](/source/People's_National_Party) (PNP). In March 2023 he announced his intention to stand as the PNP candidate for the [Saint Ann South Eastern](/source/Saint_Ann_South_Eastern) constituency being vacated by [Lisa Hanna](/source/Lisa_Hanna).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://jamaica.loopnews.com/content/wavell-hinds-announces-bid-lisa-hannas-sesa|title=Wavell Hinds announces bid for Lisa Hanna's SESA
