List of Wisden Trophy Records

List Of Wisden Trophy Records

This is a list of Wisden Trophy Test cricket series played between England and West Indies which dates back to 1963. It is usually played alternately in England and West Indies, although early series were predominately played in England. "The Wisden Trophy" series varies between three and six Tests.

In the series' 44 year history, the trophy has changed hands on three occasions (1968, 1973 and 2000). The West Indies won the first Wisden Trophy in 1963 and held the cup until 1968. England then held the trophy for a brief period between 1968 and 1973. After the 1973 series the West Indies retained the trophy for 27 years. This included a 16 year period (1974–1990) where the West Indies did not lose a Test. The new millennium proved to be the turning point in the series as England won the 2000 Wisden Trophy 3–1 to regain the trophy. They have successfully defended the trophy three times and have not lost a Test since the 2000 series.

The next Wisden Trophy series will take place in the West Indies in 2009 and will consist of four Test matches. Overall, the West Indians have won 12 Wisden Trophy series, England have won six Wisden Trophy series and there have been three drawn series. A total of 21 Wisden Trophy series have been played.
