The Dominica national cricket team represents the country of Dominica in cricket. The team is not a member of the International Cricket Council, but the Dominica Cricket Association is a member of the Windward Islands Cricket Board of Control, which itself is a member association of the West Indies Cricket Board, and players from Dominica generally represent the Windward Islands cricket team at domestic level and the West Indies at international level. Dominica has however played as a separate entity in matches which held Twenty20 status, but has not appeared in first-class or List A cricket. The teams captain, as of December 2013, is Liam Sebastien.
A Dominica cricket team first appeared in West Indian cricket in the 1912/13 Hesketh Bell Shield against Saint Kitts at the Antigua Recreation Ground. The team is next recorded playing twelve years later in the 1925/26 Hesketh Bell Shield, with Dominica playing in the Shield until 1932, later playing in the Cork Windward Islands Challenge Cup in 1938 and 1939. In 1930, Merril Anthony became the first recorded person to have played for Dominica to play first-class cricket when he appeared for British Guiana. There is a long gap between 1939 and Dominica's next recorded appearance, which came in the 1965 Windward Islands Tournament against Saint Kitts. By this time the Windward Islands were playing matches which held first-class status, with Windsor Park playing host to the teams fourth first-class fixture in 1965 against the Leeward Islands. Dominica continued to play in the Windward Islands Tournament, and from 1975 its successor, the Heineken Trophy. Their participation in the tournament (under various names) continued into the 1990s, with matches home throughout this period being held mostly at the Windsor Park.
