Although Baker did not enjoy an extended international cricket career, he entered the history books as only the first player from the tiny lands of Montserrat in the Caribbean nation.

Prior to his playing for the West Indies, Baker's consistency int he domestic circuit rewarded him with a two-year Leicestershire Country cricket contract as he fell into the bracket of cricketers who had a British passport. However, a West Indies call-up terminated the contract.

In November 2008, he made his debut against Pakistan and impressed with figures of 9-0-47-3 including wickets of Salman Butt, Younis Khan and Shahid Afridi. He only played nine more ODIs until he went out of national reckoning.

Baker has also played four tests for West Indies after making his debut against New Zealand in 2008 apart from the 15 T20Is in which he has picked 12 wickets.
