First Test of each Test playing nation

West Indies

West Indies lost their maiden Test by an innings and 58 runs

There could not have been a better ground for West Indies to be introduced to Test cricket. The Lord's cricket stadium in London was the venue for the first ever Test for the West Indies. The Test started on 23rd June 1928 and ended on 26th June 1928 with the second day being declared as a rest day.

The West Indies like England and South Africa struggled in their maiden Test and the margin of defeat was huge. Electing to bat, the hosts England scoring 401 and then bowled out the West Indies twice in the match for 177 and 166 (after enforcing the follow-on). West Indies lost the Test by an innings and 58 runs.
