Teams from Trinidad have played first-class cricket from 1869, when Trinidad took on
Demerara for two matches, winning one and losing one. They also participated in the
Inter-Colonial Tournament featuring
Barbados,
British Guiana (formerly Demerara), and themselves, playing in all 28 tournaments that were held between
1891–92 and
1938–39. From the late 1880s, Tobago was incorporated into the crown colony of Trinidad as a ward. After independence in 1962, the team changed its name to reflect the official name of the country, Trinidad and Tobago, and when the
Shell Shield began in
1965–66 the team competed under the name of Trinidad and Tobago. They won their first title on their fourth outing, in
1969–70, and also won the next year's competition, but since then Trinidad and Tobago have only taken three titles in 35 seasons. During this time cricketers from Trinidad competed in the
Beaumont Cup which had first class status. Trinidad and Tobago won four one day titles in eight seasons from
1989–90 to
1996–97 and another four in six seasons from
2004–05 to
2009-10. As well they won consecutive titles in the
2014-15 and
2015-16 seasons with yet another title in the
2020-21 season. Such said Trinidad have won the most regional one day championships, being 13 with one shared and 12 outright titles. T&T also featured in and were runners-up at the inaugural
Champions' league T-20. The Trinbagonians eventually won a total of 3
Caribbean T20 championships. ==Squad==
