Top 5 players from Barbados

#4 Sir Everton Weekes

Weekes was one of the finest batsmen to have ever represented the West Indies in Test cricket

One of the famed 'three Ws' of Barbadian and West Indian cricket, middle-order batsman Sir Everton Weekes was one of the finest batsmen to have ever represented the West Indies in Test cricket.

He debuted for Barbados in domestic cricket in the 1944-45 season, but it was not till 1948 that he earned his first Test cap for the West Indies. Weekes was an exceptional stroke maker and had a wide variety of shots, making it quite tough for bowlers to hold their own against him when he was in form.

The 1948-49 tour of India was the high point of his career as he scored five successive Test hundreds, a record that stands tall to this day in international cricket. In an international career that lasted around a decade and spanned 48 Test matches, Weekes scored 4455 runs at an exceptional average of 58.61, with 15 centuries. He continued to play domestic cricket for Barbados till the 1963-64 season and scored 36 centuries in total, one of which was an unbeaten triple ton.
