A promising talent during the time of West Indies' dominance in World cricket, Ian Bishop was unfortunate to lose out on playing time due to multiple back problems that hampered his game.

Tall and well-built, Bishop often depended on his outswingers that sharply moved away from the batsmen, and bounce that he extracted off the surface. In just 21 matches, Bishop reached the milestone of 100 wickets, but resurfacing injuries severely cut short his career. The Trinidadian ended with 161 wickets from 43 test matches and 118 wickets from 84 ODIs.

Post-retirement, Bishop tours the world and lends his voice to many tournaments and is recognized as one of the best commentators in the modern era.
