The Prince of Trinidad played in the 1^st ever Under-19 World Cup that was held in 1988 and led that West Indian side to the semi-final stage of the competition. While playing for the senior West Indian outfit, Lara had multiple stints at the helm, leading in 1998 and then in 2003 as well.

He lost his captaincy for an indefinite period in 2005, but was picked to lead again in 2006 and led the side until the end of the 2007 World Cup after which he called it quits from the international game.

Lara’s highest point as a captain of West Indies came in 2004, when he captained the side to the 2004 Champions Trophy win in England, their first major title in 25 years.
