It has produced international cricketers in all forms of the game—Tests, One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). In 1928, against England, Maurice Fernandes became the first Guyanese player to represent the West Indies when he played in their inaugural Test match. In 1930 Fernandes became the first of seven Guyanese players to captain the West Indies. Clive Lloyd has captained the West Indies Test side a record 74 times. Shivnarine Chanderpaul is the leading Guyanese run scorer in Tests and ODIs, having scored 11,867 runs in Tests and 8,778 in ODIs. With that being said, the only West Indian to have scored more than he did in tests is Brian Lara. Along with that the only West Indians to outscore him in one day internationals are Chris Gayle and Lara respectively. With 309 wickets, Lance Gibbs is the leading Guyanese wicket-taker in Tests. Colin Croft, Devendra Bishoo and Carl Hooper are the only other Guyanese players to have taken 100 Test wickets. With 193 wickets, Hooper has the most in ODIs than any other Guyanese player.
